I guess what keeps on nagging me is:
- How much power is being drawn under light load by the both front hub motors.
- How much power is being created under light load by both rear hub generators.
- How much less work is the gasoline engine making the front hub motors work?
I have power generation every time the car slows down or stops. I have the front hub motors performing some work but not all the work and hence they shouldn't be drawing much power for the their torque output at that time.
The gasoline engine is pushing, the hub motors are pulling, total work load is divided, and rear hub generators are recharging the system batteries.
If I am annoying you with my ignorance you don't need to comment further...
