LB, the answer to your question about how much juice from your generator involves a couple of variables:
1) Vehicle characteristics (weight, aero, motor, etc)
2) Driving habits and route (how much accel/decel, distance)
3) Battery capacity and charge philosophy (will your genset run when the car is parked?)
Sorry, but there really isn't a straight-forward answer. The best way to start is to set particular design goals. "I want to use a car, weighing ____lbs, having a CdA of ____, and... I am willing to spend $____. I want to have a range of ____ miles using a genset that runs only when the car is running."
