Fun fact; It's more energy efficient to charge an EV from a diesel or petrol generator than to drive an internal combustion engine.

Really? In what way?

For the same reason regular hybrids (think Prius, etc.) have higher mpgs. An electric motor is more efficient than a gas/diesel engine plus due to scale the larger generator would be more efficient than a smaller engine in a car.

is right. In addition the combustion engine in the generator can run at near top efficiency the whole time unlike the engine in a car.
