Alright, so I've narrowed the batteries and vendors down. I have a question. I'm aiming for these:
CA40FI 40Ah CALB Lithium Prismatic Battery EV LiFePO4 Cell
40 Ah CALB batteries. I was going to get 23 of them. However, for about $25 more there's a comparable 60 Ah battery. Is the extra 20Ah really worth the extra $25 per battery, bringing the cost up from $1265 to $1817. Roughly $500 for extra 20Ah. I know Ah will aid in the total range, but so will gearing, controller programming, weight management, aerodynamics, and more. How far do you think 20Ah would get me assuming a constant speed of 45 MPH?
In summary, I guess I'm just looking for a cost benefit analysis between the 40Ah and 60 Ah.
