Like BMW i3 with the optional range extender, which is a 2-cylinder BMW motorcycle engine?
As far as required power: smaller electrical cars consume 12-18 kWh/100 km. Assuming 100 km/h top speed (thus average speed a little less) is acceptable for the rare times you run out of battery, a 10-15 kW engine suffices. It will keep the battery not-entirely-empty, so you'll still be able to accelerate normally.
