/I recall someone posting a test where they had accelerated from standstill to 60 and back down to 0, I think in a Tesla or a Leaf. The regen efficiency was pretty high, 60-70% of the energy was recaptured IIRC. So if you drive like that all the time your range will be 60-70% better with regen than without. It would still be less efficient than driving at a constant speed of 30mph. /
That would be the percentage of vehicle kinetic energy returned to the battery during a deceleration, but the overall ratio of energy regained through regen to total energy expended driving the vehicle will be much lower, due to the travel between stops. The calculations and data clearly show this. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/EVLN-Fiat-500e-EV-close-to-perfect-tp4668392p4668585.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)
