Idea: "extended range" plug-in electric hybrid, except the fossil-fuel-burning part is a separate module that you can remove -- turning the vehicle into a pure EV -- or even replace with more batteries.

Apparently, Extended Range Electric Vehicle is a category now?
Going back a ways, there was also the BMW i3
@idlestate Aha! That's definitely part of the idea, and has its own strengths as a variation of what I had in mind.
I was thinking more like something that actually goes onboard, so you're not dealing with a trailer, but is also replaceable (preferably by the owner, though weight and size are obviously issues).
@woozle I dimly recall one of the early Nissan Leaf (???) announcements was an option for a very lil' electric generator trailer with an umbilical to the car.
