I thought of this alot of years ago when EVs were starting to gain traction. I thought it would be a good match for a low RPM, high torque 2 cyl diesel engine to run a generator. But apparently it's not a new idea and had been tried at some point in Europe and deemed impractical. Don't know why. The Top Gear guys in fact did a parody on the theme...
