We have the specifics on several other EV's -- the SIM-LEI: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...kph-16672.html

The DOD of the Leaf battery pack is 95% and the Kolibri is 97%. They are quite stable with deep discharges. The FVT eVaro uses EiG cells that are fine at 10C.

It is the efficiency of the chassis that limits the range of an EV, not the battery per se. Compare the Leaf and the SIM-LEI: the Leaf Cd is 0.28 vs 0.19 of the SIM-LEI, and this translates to 73 miles range vs about 200+ miles; on very similar pack capacity.
