Re:Tesla owner drives 452 miles on single charge by darkr on Wednesday August 26, 2015 @03:31AM (#10121610)
A pro, or at least someone comfortable with averaging 25mph over a long distance; given a relatively flat course, would probably require an average power output in the region of 300 watts. So even if we take the higher speed into account this works out around 12Wh/mile. ..but if we take weight into the equation; assuming the rider and his bike are on the chubby side and work out a combined 100kg - we get 0.12Wh/kilo/mile. Most of the tesla range are over 2000kg excluding passengers, so taken as a Wh/kilo/mile calculation it actually works out around slightly more than 1/3 greater efficiency at 0.086Wh/kilo/mile. Not too bad..
