Alternative Energy Storage Needs to Take Baby Steps Before It Can Run [View article]
To: John P. - I question your figures that an EV automobile with a 40 mile range would require a battery of 10 Kwh. Ten Kw equals only 14 h.p. I cant imagine an automobile no matter how small being powered for 40 miles with a 14 h.p. motor at normal driving speeds. Am I missing something or did you miscalculate, or did I miscalculate. I calculate that the minimum size battery would be 30 to 40 Kwh for a small car. I am actually working on a project so this is not an academic exercise for me.
