They do, sort of. It's used when braking/decelerating to recover the energy/momentum and put it back into the batteries. But that only recovers part of the energy used for acceleration/cruising. So, there is still an overall drain on the battery.

Scary how stupid electric cars are when considered the replacement for internal combustion.
How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

John Galt invented this alternator. You didn't deserve it. It still sits in an old abandoned, formerly employee run auto plant.

There's a couple concepts out there for that but the problem is you at best end up not gaining any electrical profit. Profit being that you gain the as much or more energy consumed by the vehicle. Also have to remember that EVs have energy efficiency losses just like gasoline vehicles. Not quite as much as gas but still not 100%

^^^^^ You are joking, right? That would be perpetual motion. I am serious. I'm not an expert on batteries.

Why can't they have an alternator like our gas cars to keep the batteries charged. No need for charging stations. I think it's all bs to tax us more. I have said the same thing, If they would have a small tire type object riding against the car tires turning the alternator and you had one on each tire charging the batteries. You may still have to charge the batteries but it would help. People need to think outside the box. I would think a couple of smart engineers and a couple of machinist they could come up with some thing.

It would take more energy to turn the alternator then the alternator can create. You would also lose some in friction, heat lose, and in charging the battery.

I think the disconnect is that a lot of people don't understand that batteries STORE energy. They produce nothing. The alternator can produce energy but requires more energy INPUT than it can OUTPUT Perfect explanation. I will never understand why we don't just move on to using propane as all our city buses do here? In the long run they would be less harmful to the environment than the electric cars when you consider the harmful effects to the environment to produce EVs. There are numerous reports showing how little negativity the propane-powered vehicles cause the environment compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. They're certainly more practical that EVs. That is if the real goal is to save the environment.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Saving the environment ISN'T THEIR GOAL! Don't know what it is, but it ain't that, for sure.
