Solar roof/hood trickle charger? :dunno:

 

Cost would definitely outweigh any benefit on solar with the current tech. Not that much real estate available on an auto to produce enough electricity to make it worthwhile.

 A small ICE(10-15hp) on a battery bias vehicle could extend the range to easily cover 99.9% of the populations long distance driving need while maintain the superior performance of an electric vehicle compared to a purely ICE vehicle.

No....  diesel electric locomotives don’t have any batteries.  Diesel just turns a generator to power electric motors.  Efficient for power but not necessary that efficient for economy.
