    My issue isn’t with adding electric to a gas car. My issue is adding gas to an electric car.

    The ICE drive train adds a TON of complexity to an EV. If you’re gonna add ICE to an EV I think that it makes more sense to have a little range-extender generator, which is simple and cheap (because it only needs to run at a single RPM and constant load) which you can just run to add a bit more charge to your battery on long road trips.

    But ideally we’d just have better charging infrastructure.
