Article: 1000km on a single charge
Hello -
My co-worker friend found this : Japanese team sets new standard: 1000km on a single charge http://c0378172.cdn.cloudfiles.racks...-mira-ev-1.jpg Quote:

It says here that the road load for a Metro is nine times as high at a steady 65mph than at 25mph. Also, the faster you discharge a battery, the less energy you can extract from it. So... somewhere around 60 miles? That's enough to get from one side of Buffalo to the other and back. I'd love to have that kind of range. I'm curious, why did they choose 8320 cylindrical cells instead of a few dozen 60Ah prismatic cells? It seems the latter approach simplifies your battery monitoring/management scheme. |

If load increases 9 times, then your run time, not distance, is one-ninth. The range is probably somewhere between 150-180 miles at 65 mph. The 1997 Solectria Sunrise using batteries with half the energy density could do better than that at such a speed. James Worden, its designer, hypermiled it in the Tour De sol and got 373 miles(previous record), but that was not at a steady 25 mph and included some highway speeds. |
