There is so much discussion about charging stations and batteries being barriers to producing economical, practical electric cars that can travel long distances without charging. (I live in Australia where distance is a real ‘thing’)
Am I missing something?
Why can’t such a vehicle use a “dynamo” system to produce its own energy once in motion?

My Tesla goes 300 miles to a charge, you can buy them with 400 miles of range and in a short while with 500 miles range which you can preorder now.
You cannot pull energy from a moving vehicle without causing it to slow down or otherwise become less efficient. EVs and hybrids actually use this technique to their advantage when slowing, this also saves on brake wear and slightly will add charge to the battery.
