I suppose one could make some short term money by making an EV → Hybrid conversion kit....
A nice, simple to fit combustion engine?
Yes. Great Scott! We shall mount it externally with wood screws and call it MrDifFusion but it's really just a cheap genny from Home Depot, Marty.
Edison motors in Canada is getting ready to put out conversion kits for pickup trucks to convert to series hybrid (onboard generator, all electric drivetrain). It's not for a short term profit, more for right to repair and a stance against planned obsolescence.
