Sorry I asked as I have had difficulty finding information sorting through ebike 500 watt and other applications that are not quite what I am looking for.
If I want 10kw of power (my current 125cc motorcycle's power) and I use 4.5 litres of fuel to travel 160km (35km per litre). I would need at least 4.5 x 2.5kw 11.4kw of power in my batteries to make the example 160km trip.
If a Panasonic 18650 is 3.7 volts and 3.4 amp
3.7 volt x 3.4 amp x 1 = 12.58 watt hour.
I need 30 Panasonic 18650 batteries.
3.7 volt x 3.4 amp x 30
= 111 volt x 102 amp = 11,322 watt hour
Is this correct?
What percentage more power should I have to prevent full discharge?
At a weight of 46 grams each the total 30 batteries will weigh 1.380kg which is lighter than my current lead acid motorcycle battery.
If I buy 30 Panasonic NCR18650B batteries for AUD $12.42 each it'll cost AUD $372.60.
Only counting the cost of petrol at current available price I need to get 7303km from the 30 batteries before replacing them.
If they have 1000 power cycles that means I should get something like 160*1000 = 16000 km.
Providing these calculations are correct the electric vehicle is more economical.
