An electric vehicle drive mechanism comprises a plurality of alternators, an energy storage system, a gear system, and a telescoping shaft. The telescoping shaft comprises shaft portions that extend along an axle of the vehicle. When the vehicle is in motion, the telescoping shaft drives the alternators through the gear system. Electrical energy generated by the alternators is supplied to the energy storage system.
