Thank you so much for the information you shared with me, especially the link to fred's page. Absolutely brilliant.

Just one question, As I stated, due to distances I need to travel I will be powering the vehicle with a built in power generator. Now all generators are rated in KVA, how do I get from KVA to the point where I know if a generator is powerfull enough to power my motor?

Thanks again for the info

I'm not a Hybrid person so probably not the best source of knowledge on that question. I suspect that your onboard genset will not directly power your electric motor but rather feed your battery pack as you drive. So your choice of generator may depend more on the specs of the battery pack than the motor itself.
Anyway here is a link for converting KVA -

I hear you, again thanks for the additional link, much appreciated.

I would prefer to have pure battery power, but I commute 250 kilometers ( 156 miles) per day adn do not have any recharing point / facility during the day. I thus have no option but to go for hybrid. From your knowladge, would you think that there will be a problem supplying the motor directly from the genset ? as that is basically what I have in mind......

Thanks again
