Disclosed herein is a method of controlling an engine of an electric vehicle including a generator (17) driven by the engine, an electric motor (48) driven by a battery (36), and a transmission having a plurality of gears. The method includes the steps of: monitoring a vehicle speed of the electric vehicle; placing the transmission of the electric vehicle in a neutral gear; receiving a user input configured to activate the engine of the electric vehicle; starting the engine of the electric vehicle upon receipt of the user input and upon the vehicle speed of the electric vehicle being at or below a predetermined threshold value; generating electrical energy with the generator (17); routing the electrical energy to the battery (36); and charging the battery (36) of the electric vehicle with the generated electrical energy.
