[USMA:45702] Re: Wh/mile vs J/km

[Jason D Darfus]

I used working capacity in my example as I can actually travel 60 km, depending on speed/acceleration/load, and the system consumes 5 kW•h from the mains to charge as measured with a Kill-A-Watt.

The electronics place a lower limit on the usable voltage of the pack.

Are you folks using the nominal "capacity" of the vehicle batteries or the "working capacties"? In such applications one never discharges batteries entirely but leaves "several percent" in before terminating use. Else, bad things happen! On the other hand, perhaps you are using "recharge" figures, which approximate "working capacities". I apologize for my dumb questions; I have not been following this thread very closely.
