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.
I don't imagine that it is necessary for a generator to output cruising
power, though that would be a positive. One could start the generator
before the battery was depleted and run on both battery and generator
power. Also, one could take a break while waiting for the generator to
charge the battery.
