Battery capacity is 100 KWH. Assuming 80% efficiency it would take about 60 hours to recharge with a 2000 watt (continuous) generator.
I can't imagine why someone would want to do that unless as an absolute last resort. A Tesla Model 3 can take up to 3 full days to charge on level 1 charging, and a Cybertruck has a much larger battery. So probably close to 100 hours of charge time. A generator that can support level 1 charging (at least 2kw continous) burns about 1/4 gallon an hour. 25 gallons of gas to travel 100 miles (takes about 1kw/hr per mile to move an RV down the road at highway speed) equals four miles per gallon. Not exactly great fuel economy. :)
