I get it, a PHEV that can go “forever” with a gas powered generator, but how far and under what loads? We dog EVs with their range degredation under stress, but has anyone questioned the effectiveness of the 1500s generator to recharge the batteries under heavy, long distance towing? Maybe at Max towing weight?
On a level 2 30A charger I can barely add charge to my Tesla while running the AC blasting in summer time.

This is perfect for my desired use case, a rural home with power on 38 acres that is many miles from the nearest gas station, let alone any charging station. There is no charging infrastructure in that area, none.
Enough EV range to get weeky groceries and fart about locally. Enough range with gas to tow (because yes, I tow, often, a livestock trailer, a hay trailer, an equipement trailer, an RV), make the five hour round trip to the nearest Costco. Enough torque, HP and capacity to displace a heavy duty truck. It may be expensive for a light duty pickup but it’s a game changer for people who are otherwise forced to buy a heavy duty truck. Imagine if it had a PTO.
People think range anxiety is limited to EV’s. Not so. This solves a huge problem for people far from a gas station but have access to electrical power. It’s as big for people really working remote as Starlink internet is, and helps shift the power dynamic away from big oil.
