[ausev] power pull

Brian,

I'm converting an old Honda Accord Hatchback that will weigh about 2800 when
I'm done.  I'm using the Electro Automotive A/C kit and 13 sealed lead acid
12v batteries.  For comparison and my own expectations on performance:

What kind of car do you have?

What motor/controller does it use?

What gear do you use at 70 mph and what is the rpm of your motor at that
speed?

Thank you,

Kevin Douglass

I generally pull 120amps @ 144volts on level ground at 70mph, but I
have a heavy car at 2800lbs or so.

(I routinely pull 350amps accelerating away from a stop light though.)
