While this graph shows that driving range greater than 300 miles should be possible, the conditions to do this are quite rare: steady-state driving at 30 mph (no stops or starts) for more than 10 hours! What is most relevant for real world driving and trip planning is how the range varies between perhaps 45 mph and 80 mph.
One clear driving “tip” to take away from this is if you are ever nervous about making it to a given destination: you will do much better to slow down instead of speeding up. I’ve talked with many people who intuitively think that minimizing time to the destination will also minimize the energy usage, but just the opposite it true!
So it would be possible to to drive to Scotland on one charge in 23 hours, not 3 days! :biggrin:
How long in a Prius?
So, Mr. Clarkson, I don't see 55 miles on that chart.
Funny - that's exactly what I've said on the company blog (currently awaiting moderation). :smile:
You can expect about a +/- 10Wh/mile variation with a +/- 20% variation in tire pressure
Electric cars definitely benefit from more city driving over highway driving.
Well, keep in mind that those charts assume maintaining a constant speed, not the stops and starts you get in real city driving.
Sure, but city driving is a great opportunity to take advantage of regen. Unfortunately, Roadster's regen braking really is only first gen tech. No adaptation, only rear wheels. All braking in cities should be done via regen, except emergency braking of course.Well, keep in mind that those charts assume maintaining a constant speed, not the stops and starts you get in real city driving.
