one cylinder EV conversion?

ok, so I am very new to this website, and in the process of trying to figure out the best thing to do to save on fuel on a low budget.
So I was thinking, how efficient would an electric vehicle be if it had a one cylinder diesel, say out of a lawnmower or something, to charge the batteries? I don't that would be to expensive to build, except for the controllers? The batteries and motors shouldn't be too bad, but I don't really understand how to price/match a controller to a EV setup.
Let me know what everyone thinks. Thanks
