Wait, are you still talking about the diesel-electric hybrid idea? I feel like something like an F-150 lightning with a modified frunk to house a smallish RV diesel or propane generator set to spin at several optimally tuned RPM steps would get you pretty darn close. All the regen shit is already baked in, you just then need to override the no-charging-while-moving thing and plumb in a fuel tank, engine mounts, oil pan and radiator and exhaust. And Also the auxiliary computer control system you mentioned. That should be fairly trivial to code up with an rpi or arduino. But doing something more sedan-like I guess you're be better of just getting a prius type thing or a Volt type thing... no diesel, but shit... fuckin' EPA.

That's a good idea. Yea I never tried the hybrid thing just spit balling theories.
