I do not have a Nissan Leaf yet, but I am considering buying one.
While driving around town I intend to use the car normally.
For long trips I was wondering whether it would be possible to tow a small trailer that contains a diesel generator (genset) that would be running and connected to the cars charging socket.
If this is possible what size should the genset be? Or in other words what is the kWh drain while the car is cruising at say 100kmh (60mph). The genset capacity should be around 20% more than that so that it can also charge the battery if it is drained while climbing a hill etc.
Sorry if this topic has been raised before. I looked for it, but couldn't find it.
