With my current setup of;
Warp 9 (in front coulped directly to a beetle transmission)
Zilla-Z1KEHV
Big, sexy, wide tires
168V-15Ah LiFePO4 battery pack
I have achieved the following Watt hours per mile (WH/M)
1. 190WH/M: averaged 10 miles of easy acceleration, stop and go and turns within typical neighborhood travel (mixed gears)
2. 220WH/M: averaged 10 miles of fun acceleration, stop and go and turns within typical neighborhood travel (mixed gears)
3. 156WH/M: steady 25MPH (3rd gear only)
4. 123 WH/M: steady 37MPH ;D (3rd gear only)
***************************
Unless you just plan to drive straight and not stop, I would not use the estimates at #3 and #4.
If I had to pull an average number out, I would guess it will be 250WH/M. I say this because on the main roads, there are much less stops than in my neighborhood, and it appears that my vehicle is slightly less efficient at slower speeds. Higher amps will also be seen at much higher speeds. More info will be posted as more testing is done.
