Thank you Aerohead! Your numbers are very accurate. The Zevo has been consuming 526 wH/mile, expending 33 kW to maintain 63 mph. (1.9 mile/kWh)
I did my first road test with the new WT yesterday, about 100 miles and saw no noticeable improvement over stock. After shaking off the depression I remembered I designed the structure to be adjustable and have a plan for how to fix what's wrong.
The cuff of 19" at 17 degrees is creating airflow separation. I am going to add a spacer to set my doors 2" closer to the edge on each side. I will then use a 6' x 4' coroplast to completely cover the gap and the door. I will tape the leading edge to the Zevo's body about 12" in front of the cuff. I should still be able to adjust the doors between 5 & 20 degrees.
When I get new tail lights down low on the step bumper I will be able to extend the doors 24" lower.
