Range/Driver





Range is the number one weekness people think an EV has.
Our 192V Geo has a range of 30-40km AS I DRIVE, and thats what I quote
when people ask. Today my wife went into town, a trip which usually
takes 35-40ah out of the pack when I drive.
She got home and I checked the E-Meter, it was at -22ah!
I know from experiance that I could not do that trip on less than 30ah.
I guess its time to find lighter shoes.
This just points out that range has alot to do with who is driveing and
shows how hard it is to quote range figures.
