I wrote out the numbers I worked out for a tesla, but I had also done it from basic physics (plus referenced efficiencies) for a gas car, and it's not horribly different. I didn't include it because I have no idea what so ever how big of a deal adding in a 1kW power system to a gas car that still drew power from the gas engine, or what the losses look like. The order of magnitude remains about the same. I drive a prius, and if my estimate is close enough, the range isn't a factor for cars like mine. I was mostly curious in order of magnitude kW stuff, and only tangentially $ stuff.
