Range extender starts charging battery after 100-150 miles of EV-only driving

Didn't see this stat being talked about but Scout confirmed to The Autopian publication that the Harvester gas engine range extender will start charging the battery after about 100-150 miles of driving EV mode only.

I expect that will be configurable by the driver. If I prefer to keep the battery charged and therefore run the engine before it reaches 150 miles, I should be able to select when the engine turns on. Many plug-in hybrids have that capability. So they say.

I want to be able to turn it on like a generator while the car is parked overnight to recharge while off-roading. That would be legit. Bonus points if it’s quiet like the predator generators

I feel that's a fair distance. For most people, they'll never use gas for 90% of their driving.

What is the engine size, generator rating, and fuel capacity?
