A couple of things here:

1. I commend you on your efforts.
2. I think you need more Long Term Test vehicles. Send one of these my way!

That being said;

The testing procedures are quite flawed. Comparing the alt/motor temp at 25mph @ ambient 84*F vs 60mph @ ambient 68*F (with additional air cooling vent) is ludicrous.

Also, running 8 large AGM batteries to achieve 96v rated at 34ah is going to net less than 25min before bringing the batteries down to 20% capacity at 8000w.

That's a lot of weight, space, and money spent on 10hp of ECA for approx 20mi of driving.
