The power / generator modules are coupled via a planetary gear set.
The wheels together with the electric motor are on the ring gear, the
gas engine is on the planet gears, and the generator is on the sun
gear. HAVE I GOT THIS RIGHT, OR WHAT SHOULD IT BE, & THANKS?

Many thanks for the good provided info.
