the electric drive system i would plan on using uses 40-60 amps cruising, about 150 at full throttle. i plan on having a generator producing 100 amps @ 48V, enough to keep up with any decent cruising speed, that would burn 1/5th gallon an hour, i would only run just electric for short periods, like entering harbors or docking, keeping the battery bank from draining any lower than 40% drained, greatly improving their lifspan.
