Until they tell us what the primary energy source is for this car, we are all just guessing. But there HAS to be a primary energy source in order to charge the battery, period.

Bro, every gas car has an alternator. There is no way an alternator can convert enough energy to recharge a battery that is pushing the car alone. That's what a alternator does, it takes mechanical energy from the drive train through belts and pullies and recharges the battery of a car. You lose energy through friction which releases as heat. If the car has wheels on the road, even if the bearings and everything else is 100% efficient and transferring energy, you still can't make a car 100% charge itself. They are going to need supplementary fuel. Maybe they will use a combo of wind/piezo/hydrogen, but they definitely aren't just charging the car with the drive train itself. Literally impossible.

$HPIL dis exactly any electrician knows dis stuff, alternating d.c. to da battery.

yes d.c. energy

so 4-wheel alternator creating electric charge back to battery.

you seem to have electrical background as me.

as da big wheels turn
