The extra weight of the generator in your car would decrease your range which somewhat defeats the purpose

I’ve got a generator that weighs less than 50 pounds. How much would that affect range?

It wouldn’t, that amount of weight is negligible for range impact on most every EV with the exception of the shitty cheap first gen ones (looking at you Nissan leaf).

Not significantly. It's air resistance and wheel friction that matters with EV's.
