Well the title says it all. I’m very new to this idea and have hit ground running, gathering information and starting to plan my project.

Of course I want to do this all for the good of mother earth but i still want to be able to hop in the car and go fo a drive and not be tied down with the outlet or the gas pump.

I have an idea, I want to us a brand new honda 4 stroke low emission engine (the only new part i wan to buy) to power the largest generator I can use practicaly, to charge a now more then 8 battery system.

I would like to have atleast a 50-75 hp motor but that can change on availability,

All parts to include the motor i can get for next to nothing ( I know people) and I plan on putting this into a 70 era datsun or toyota.

I’m hoping to have next to an unlimited range and try to get atleast 75 mph.

Tell me what you think I have left alot out but, like i said I’m in the sponge phaze so i’m socking it all up tell me eveything you got.
