Re: [EVDL] Solar trailer

Leaf power level demands at 55 mph are easily 4 mi/kWh or 250 Wh/mi (or 13.75 kWh/55 miles at 55 mph). It would be awesome if Leaf energy consumption was as low as you mentioned but most owner experiences indicate otherwise. With your numbers a Leaf could easily do 150 miles. Many owners get

Re: [EVDL] Solar trailer

Nice summary. The item "receiving 100 watts per square meter" is tricky. On a clear day with the sun over head you may see 1300W/m^2. But more usual is 1100 or 1000. Could be 200W/m^2 with clouds or heavy weather. And the sun, unfortunately does not stay directly in front of a mobile array no

Re: [EVDL] Solar trailer

What? To maintain a small car like a Leaf at 55 MPH only requires about 10 - 12 HP. This is only 7.5 KW (10HP) - 8.9 KW (12HP). The battery in the Leaf is rated at 30 KW-Hr. At 55 MPH it does not require all the power in the battery (30KW-Hr). It only requires 7.5KW-Hr - 8.9 KW-Hr to

Re: [EVDL] Solar trailer

Marc, Iam afraid you are not making the Leaf specification situation better. When Lawrence says he has a 30kW battery, he means 30 kWh. That is a 2016 Leaf with the improved battery (normal was 24 kWh). All Leafs have a 90 kW rating IIRC, meaning that they can accelerate with the motor producing

Re: [EVDL] Solar trailer

You're getting power and energy mixed up. Your Leaf has a POWER rating of 30 kW, which means that (at full power) it consumes 30 kW-hours of energy per hour. It does not get 4.5 miles per kW because a kilowatt is a unit of power, not energy - maybe 4.5 miles per kWh which is roughly consonant

From what I read it weighed over 3000 lbs. That is not light weight. My celica weighed 2900 lbs after I converted it. It did have a 26kwh battery so that’s 30% more than mine. They must have done something else to get the efficiency to go 200 miles on a charge. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec
