Question on range
« on: August 04, 2011, 09:12:52 PM »
Hey guys,

I was wondering what to expect on the range of the Empulse for a 34 mile round trip highway speed commute. I tried looking up the spec on the Empulse, but doesn't help me figure it out.

Thanks

These are the somewhat arbitrary numbers I'm using:

35-45 mph: 100 wh/mi
55 mph: 120 wh/mi
75 mph: 150 wh/mi

So 34 mile round trip would use about half of the Empulse's 10.0 kwh pack.

Here's a log of energy usage from one of the posters here.

Keep in mind that his wh/mi calculations are at the wall. Wall charging is about 85% efficient @ 120v, so reduce accordingly to see pack usage.
