Nice. I think I'll link the FAQ link up on the menu bar to this wiki page.

as to adding a generator to charge while driving, I disagree with the way the answer is stated.

Yes, you can add a generator, such as a tow behind module (provided everything is setup correctly, which might not be correct for a specific conversion) and yes it does then make the EV technically an HEV, but it can be done.

So I feel the answer is yes it can be done, but it depends on the setup of the EV and it technically is no longer an EV, but it can be done. Perhaps not easily, but still.

The answer for "How long does it take to recharge?" is fundamentally flawed. The problem isn't really in the batteries: the problem is moving that much energy around. Even a small EV carries 15kWh; to replace that in ten minutes you'd need 90kW! For contrast, a home outlet provides 1.5kW max. You'd need a direct line to the power station, with a cord a foot in diameter, to charge an EV like that.
