It will have its own generator to keep the battery charged. The generator is to be called a milage extender. Of course, generators require power to work. The uniqueness of his concept is that a readily available fuel, gasoline, will be used. It is planned that a small tank of gas will be stored on the vehicle. (Perhaps 27 Gal).
Wouldn't it be great if dreams like this could become reality? Close down the oil fields, no more global warning.
Alas, only a dream. Starts to sound like a complicated hybrid. Hmmm!

AFIK Ram is touting this truck with a 3.6 Liter gasoline engine to run the generator. It is a range extender rather than a hybrid because it relies upon the electric motor exclusively for propulsion.
Maybe it’s a good idea, maybe it’s a pig in a poke. Time will tell if it’s a Mustang or an Edsel.
