Would you buy a new EVan, with 300 is mile rang?

You can extend the range by fitting a large diesel generator in one of the lockers.

Charging bays are already being used by motorhomes.

Assuming a standard "fast charge" of 22KW peak (18KW average), if it was discharged to 10%, it would take over nine hours to recharge.

You'd need a faster charger, which usually costs more KWh.

A diesel generator that fitted in a locker will probably only be 2 to 3 KW, so it'd be running 24 hours a day to catch up.

But...... it would still extend the range. Maybe only by about half a mile but I am not wrong, am I?

I'm not sure how much the range would be reduced by the extra load of a generator. Might end up with less range as well as less payload.

Just in case you missed it, I was not being serious.

I's called a joke.

I think you'll find it is called a hybrid.
