Blistering indeed. But on the upside:
- It was still, um, "accelerating" when I let off @ 50 clicks. Given enough flat road, patience & battery charge, I bet the car would *eventually* reach/pass 65 km/h.
.
- The pack wasn't at 100% SOC for the test - so there's better acceleration where that came from.
.
- It makes the Flea seem extravagantly powerful by comparison. When I drove it up to the licence office to get my plates - first time I'd driven it in a month or more - I was actually a little taken aback
I heard back from a 48v CitiCar owner today. He told me their cars will briefly suck 800A out of the batteries on acceleration with the contactor controllers. Wow. Definitely have to investigate that controller bypass circuit.
