Another way of computing that is you get about 13.7 miles/kWh (40/2.88). This compares with 4.3 miles/kWh over 10,000 miles for my long range Tesla model 3 On Tue, Nov 12, 2019 at 7:45 PM evtlfp20 via EV wrote: > > I seen add on battery packs for cars and am surprised how small they > are, so

Re: [EVDL] watts per mile ev motorcycle vs prius

40a x 72v = 2880 Watts of power. This is 2880 Wh (Watthour) of energy in an hour. In that hour you go 40 mi, so your efficiency is 2880/40 = 72 Wh/mi This is very low for an EV, but that is also due to low speed. At Freeway speed your consumption per mile will be much higher. My truck can achieve

My leaf averages 4.1 kWh/mi. Mostly in-town, which is close to your speed spec. Sincerely, Bob Bath Note: any misspellings of the contents of this message are due to 54 y.o. vision, hyperactive spell check changing what I typed, or fat fingering— not cluelessness. > On Nov 12, 2019, at
