Depends a lot on speed, the shape of the car, and other factors, but on the order of 10-30 HP for something like the Model S at 70mph I think.
I still really want a hybrid truck, running diesel, with the ability to seat 2 people, secure cargo space (like a custom bed with lockboxes), 4wd, and the ability to run the engine for a week or two in place as a generator (e.g. at a remote comms site). Run the engine during the day to keep the batteries charged, operate at night off battery.

- rdl 13y agoSadly gasoline/petrol vs. diesel. I really want diesel so I can store/transport reasonable amounts of fuel; I avoid messing with gas. I wonder how it would deal with towing. That I6 would be inadequate for peak towing, so it would depend how often a truck going up grades, offroad, etc. and towing would need battery augmentation.
