Hi Ryland. How does voltage factor into the watt hour per mile figure? So in my example, let's say you have 20 batteries to work with - a) 96V at 15 amp hours or b) 120V at 12 amp hours.

I did a bit of digging around and found out the Tesla's ESS is probably 324V and 151Ah, so that's a good place to start for comparison. So roughly speaking, to get 1/3rd the performance and 1/3 the range, I'll need 96 of these drill batteries (~$7000). Then there's something called a C rating to worry about.
