I understand but an EV is only logical if it can make a dent in my gas bill :-) My commute to work is 54 miles each way (charging at work is no problem) thats why I need 60 miles. IE if I had one that could reliably do 60 miles it would save me $3500 a year in gasoline!
Just how many amps would I need to go 60 miles? How do I do such math? I am tinkering with the idea of using NIMH batteries specifically 10 or 12 amp D cell NIMH's ie 600 cells would give me 72volts and 100amps. With nimh I can use ALL of the power no 50% usage limit as with Leads. Then the other question. How the the heck would you charge 600 cells :-(
