minus-squarezurohki@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-219 days agoWhere on earth did you get 50 kW from? My car isn’t very efficient and it’s more like 18 kW on the freeway. With an average consumption of 50 kW a first gen Nissan Leaf would last like 20 minutes. They were short range, but not that short.
minus-squareNaz@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 days agoHaha, I knew I was making a mistake when I was writing that figure. ICE efficiency is around 22% so 50 kW × 0.22 = 11 kW constant. Your figure of 18 kW is more pragmatic/empirical, so I defer to your measurement :)
