I don't know what fuels it takes, but the "optimized for a single RPM and torque to spin a dynamo" is pretty much describing Mazda's MX-30 R-EV which does this with a rotary engine.

Won't be coming to the US though, and the EV version is dropped here as well. Now that they have PHEVs in the CX-90 and upcoming CX-70. Previously the MX-30 was available in California as a compliance car.

Yeah, and the Rotary is actually really good for this job.
