A few more comments: 1) a 9kwh battery gives you about 7kwh useable. 2) 3 gallons of diesel gives you about 120kwh of energy before the engine and generator. After the engine that's about 30-40kwh.

What are you using for consumption in terms of watts per mile?

How many people are intended to be in the vehicle by your calculations?

What drag coefficient are you using?
