Thank you for the ball park figures.

My numbers for the drive to work are 30 HP (for 40 minutes), 90 km/h average - maybe 15 kw-h at 100% efficiency. Assume some efficiencies: battery to VFD = 85%; VFD to motor = 90%; I need just under 20 kw-h. Your numbers give me about 5.7 kwh, less than 25% of what I need. Maybe with 3 times the battery, the battery draw would be lower and the kwh would rise a bit, maybe not.

I guess it's a start.
