Can you power an electric vehicle with a bicycle generator? How many bike generators would you need?

Question

I understand that you can use a bicycle generator to power a battery, but I am not very good at understanding basic electronic processes. I know that an electric vehicle (EV) uses a lot of electricity, and takes about 6-7 hours to charge overnight when using a regular wall outlet (in the US.) I know that bicycle generators don't produce enough electricity to charge up a car in one session on the bike, but is it possible to store enough bicycle generated energy to charge up an EV? Can you use two bicycle generators to power up one battery that you could then plug the car in to, after is has been fully charged up? I'd also appreciate information on where to find a good bicycle generator, or an idiot's guide to making one, as I am not technologically savvy in the electronics department. Thankyou!

Answer 1

I had a generator on my bike from Kmart that lit a light when a kid.   It put a little drag on the bike and produced hardly any power.   To charge an electric car battery, it would take more effort than it would be worth.   Just bike there instead!

Answer 2

you can produce about 150 Watts with one bike generator, At 12 volts that is 12.5 amps.  An EV Charger at 12 volts is pulling anywhere form 7-30 Amps. So Two Bike Generators would put out 300 watts and that is 25 amps and that would be enough to charge an EV in about 7 hours. Id like to see you ride your bike with 2 generators on it for 7 hours. but anyway its good that your thinking outside the box. Stay ALT.
