This conversation is like music to my ears! :-)

Ill be doing something similar with Belaero, except in DC.

The main pack will be about 5KWH and drive engine will be the new "poppa Etek" and the gen will be an efficient little 7hp ICE (possibly graduating to a 10hp diesel) the ICE will turn a smaller ETEK to output about 6hp (from the gas engine) and 9hp (form the diesel) either one should power the car at speed.

The 10hp would likely also turn an alternator for the 12v and possibly even an AC compressor.

Approximate price for the Gen:

7hp ICE electric start $300
little Etek $500
Fab and mounts $100
Total $900

Diesel $700
Little Etek $500
Fab and mounts $100
Total $1300

Anyone want me to build them one too :-)
