I'm looking for some guess-timates here.
I saw a news clip about a "hybrid electric"
It would run on battery whenever possible,
but then a gas motor would kick in to keep the batterys recharged.
It looked like a pretty healthy 4-cylinder gas engine doing the charging.
I had assumed that all it would take to maintain charge
would be a 3-1/2hp lawnmower engine
driving a 100 amp alternator......
Just how much power do the electric ( wheel ) drive motors suck ?
Are we talking multi-kilowatt generators to keep up with the draw ?
????
