EV Going

The EV Going page determines the power required to maintain a steady speed, and the related energy consumption, based on these parameters:

Vehicle weight is used to determine power requirements.

Drag coefficient is used to determine aerodynamic drag.

Frontal area is used to determine aerodynamic drag.

Tire pressure is used to determine rolling resistance and therefore power requirements.

Front tire diameter is used to determine speed.

Rear tire diameter is used to determine speed.

Altitude is used to determine available power.

Road grade is used to determine power requirements.

Head wind speed is used to determine aerodynamic drag.

Speed is the desired road speed for the calculation.

These inputs are used to determine maximum run time and distance at the desired speed:
