"/Almost makes sense. So you estimate 50% of the potential energy went to the regen system./" I estimate about 50% of the kinetic energy of the car went back into the batteries.
"/And you also estimate that about 25% of the potential energy ended up in the battery./" No, 50%. "/So I'm concluding that your regen system is about 50% efficient. Correct? /" In the calculations I assumed the motor/controller together were 80% efficient, and drive train efficiency was 90%. These are pretty standard numbers, and generally agree with data I've taken with my car. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/EVLN-Fiat-500e-EV-close-to-perfect-tp4668392p4668536.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
