I hope it’s like my Chevy Volt. At any point you can switch to the generator to save battery. Plus you can just run it on the gas generator indefinitely by filling the gas tank. Non need to charge the battery on long trips.Well...depends if the motor that Scout is putting in these can generate enough electricity to charge the battery more than the battery is currently using.
The Ramcharger, with its V6, also has the same question, with I think most people are guessing WILL be able to supply enough power to charge the battery than what the battery will be using, even towing. Though...maybe towing on flat highway, not up a steep incline.
If the generator does provide enough power, then yes, you could drive 500 miles, fill up on gas, and keep going the remaining 200 just on gas.
Though....500 miles is A LOT, like driving nonstop for 7 hours+ on the freeway. Most people would stop at least once, and during that time would fill up on gas for the generator. It would be nice, if there were options where you could selectively use the generator or not...to make sure that all the gas was gone before you wanted to stop (say, at 250 miles).
