Unless you scale it up (diesel electric locomotive) you loose too much energy going from gen-set to motor. It makes more sense to just send the mechanical energy from the engine straight to the wheels. Generating power requires a close to static engine speed and optimizing for that is very much in conflict for optimizing the typical emissions/fuel economy/power/reliability/price criteria by which cars are assessed. It would also almost certainly be diesel. |
