>Still baffled as to why EV's don't have an alternator built into the axle for self generating electricity while moving.
Most do use the motor as a generator when braking or going downhill.
Spend all that money on an EV but can't spend a little extra for the porta charger.
The radioactive isotope used is Nickel-63 which is very save with minimal risk.

>How abundant is this magic isotope? Where is it sourced from?
Nickel-63 is a radioactive isotope that can only be accessed artificially and does not occur in nature. 63Ni is produced synthetically by neutron irradiation of the stable isotope Nickel-62 in a nuclear reactor (62Ni(n, γ)63Ni).
Fun fact - When Transportation Security Administration (TSA) inspectors swipe a cloth over your luggage and then place it in an analyzer to check for explosives residue, they are using a device containing 63Ni, a radioactive isotope of nickel, made at ORNL.
