Using my Jeep as a comparison to those motors torque values because I know the gears on it.
Engine 230ftlbs at 1800rpm,
First gear 3.3:1
T-case (Low range) 2.6:1
Axle 3.54:1
Gives me 6,985 ftlbs to the axle shafts
*0.8 to account for drive line losses = 5588ftlbs
Now granted the only times I am anywhere near that torque rating is when pulling someone, or bound up in the rocks, or when I have entered it into the mud bogs which is <1% of the time
5th gear .75:1
Tcase (high range) 1:1
Axle 3.54:1
1600rpm at 75mph (at full throttle) est 210 ftlbs from the engine
=446ftlbs
At 75mph I'm making 210*1600/5252 = 64hp (yes its a cinderblock on wheels)
Converting to kwh for a 150mile 2 hour trip I would need about 100kwh. (only a couple times a year with this thing)
Its a good thing this is my weekend beater.
