So, I got the same 72V3A charger (diff seller) and it had the same damn noise when I got it. But, I opened it and removed the two small metal bits and it actually worked with the generator. So, now I am at 240W charging from 160W charging on a 800W generator. Here are the results. I was really hoping to hit the 100 miles at 20 mph continuous (flat, no wind, 1000 wH battery). But I think the wind picked up on last lap of 20 mph run; its about to storm hard here. But, I'll not redo the 20 mph test. 15 mph looks good as hell; 185 mile range + 229 mpg. So, it looks I need that 5A (420W) charger to easily hit 100 miles at 20 mph and hopefully 80 miles at 25 mph from a full battery (~1000 wH).
Guys, I need some input. This is suppose to be a hybrid - good pieces from both electric and gas and as few of the bad pieces as possible. Right now, I am a slower person so I think 100 miles at 20 mph is a decent goal (1000wH battery). But, I mean how does a hybrid have to perform for you to consider building it. This is also a proof of concept and actual hybrid would have an inframe generator and battery on top tube and not look so freakish.
I might redo that 20 mph with the 240W charger sometimes. That result looks really low. If you take the 160W results and scale it to the 20 mph 240W charger then range is 111 miles. Hmm, either that or this watt meter is s**t.
