How long before we start seeing electric cars with portable generators tied to their luggage racks?!

At least EVs have options for power, odd as they may be.
When gas is out, you can’t plug in your ICE car.

Or on a little towed trailer with a large fuel tank.

I was just thinking that. Or a portable charger to plug in at your destination. As long as you don’t travel more than 300 miles.

We have them now but the generators are incorporated into the design of the car. They are called hybrids.

Never. Portable generators have no where near the capability of charging EVs, nor does the EV have the space to safely carry the 20 gallons or so of gasoline that it would take to fully charge the vehicle.
