Doing the math with the typical 250 Whrs per mile of a Prius, then at 60 MPh, that 250Whrs per minute or 15kWh over an hour so you need a 15 kW generator just to cruise on level ground pusing a Prius. For pushing a heavier car full of Lead-acids, not nearly as efficient as a Prius You might need 25 to 30 kW. And once you try to haul that around with a priius, you will need maybe 50 kW. And you see you can never get there... such a method is just so inefficient kludge.. Just towing a little flatbed 4 foot tailer behind my prius dropped the MPG by 10 MPG. Bob I didn't buy it new, I built my own, like so many of you did several years ago. I want to put a generator in it so I can keep going, and going, and going. I don't know if a store model 8kw gen will do the job or not. Any knowledgeable info will be appreciated. Thanks Tom Martin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
