So i have a crazy idea, trying to make a system to where it charges the car while driving. Has anyone done this before? What wires would you have to tap into? Anyone have info on this?

%. i know it hasn't been done before but doesn't mean its not possible.

Indeed. I have a guess as to what the OP's thinking is. There are threads like that over on "TMC" that also occasionally pop up.SurfHawk said:My Tesla owning friend said I'd see posts like this on EV forums once I bought my EV.

Something like a Prius Prime, Chevy Volt, or range extended i3 is a crazy idea. It would be even crazier if you could just leave the ICE/ gen engine on a trailer at the dealer 350 days/ year when you weren't using it so other people could use it.
.
Any short range commuter EV like the Leaf could be designed with a rear quick charge port option that would control a 20kW Gen trailer that, weighs 500 pounds, costs $3000, rents for $100/week and makes 40 mpgUS cross country.
