Looking over my charts, the controller's continual output and what it takes my gas Firefly to make it up the hill on the highway, it looks like I'll need to run 100v/225a @ 5000rpm to do the same thing.

My EV power calculator concurs. I'd have to lose a bunch of weight and get the aero .cd way down to pull it off on 72V.

Good to know. Still need some real world tests to see if I can get more amps for the few minutes I would need them to climb said hill.

Merry xmas?
