Message: <blockquote data-quote="fooljoe" data-source="post: 13818" data-attributes="member: 217">There are very few times when I'd go somewhere far enough to need this that I wouldn't also have the cargo bay already stuffed. A trailer-mounted generator might be kind of cool though, particularly if combined with a high-power DC charger connected directly to the battery so that you could charge as you drive and make real long-distance road trips.This idea has been discussed extensively and even implemented for the Leaf (read up in <a href="http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6847" target="_blank">the mynissanleaf forum</a>) and going way back to the 1st generation Rav4-EV, but it's still pretty far from being a cost-effective solution. For now, I'd just take trips within a ~120 mile radius and make sure that you choose a destination that has some sort of power supply available. It's pretty rare to go somewhere where there's absolutely no power of any kind so that you'd actually need a generator (remote wilderness camping I guess?)</blockquote>
