Just saw news that Uganda's Kiira Motors Company has completed production of two electric buses. The vehicles batteries give them a range of 250 km every full charge. Meaning they could travel from Kampala to Busia before the batteries need to be recharged (possibly at the nearest public mobile phone charger lady). On a serious note, I challenge Kiira Motors to connect a simple dynamo to the buses electric engine. Have it rotate thanks to the engine. And then direct the electric power produced by the dynamo back to recharge the vehicles own batteries. All happening as the bus moves. Thereby extending its range per charge from Kampala until Nairobi, Kigali or Juba for example. If dynamo's worked for the lights on my grandparents bicycle (picture), it can surely work to recharge electric car batteries as it already does in petrol and diesel vehicles. Why not?
