I was 100 percent self sufficient for all electric needs on my last bike tour, two weeks of riding, bike fitted with a dynohub and a Cycle2Charge USB charger to keep my batteries charged. But, I used muscle power for 100 percent of the propulsion, thus my electric needs were much reduced. Never needed to plug into an outlet for anything for two weeks. And I had a GPS turned on for every mile, the GPS was probably one third of my power consumption. Phone was turned off or in airplane mode when not in use. Usually had one battery powered blinker on in back. Camping, so needed artificial light in evenings and early mornings. The camera was used a lot, but I brought the charger for it, plus spare batteries.
