Hi All!
I'm trying to assess the relative energy efficiency of different electric vehicles, and attempt to project an efficiency metric for the CT, as it comes to "energy used per mile of propulsion" rough calculation. This is primarily napkin math for me so I can calculate incremental solar capacity need when adding new EV(s) to the personal fleet.
I know what my PHV uses right now, and my buddy's Bolt also gives me good numbers to model from, but I don't have any "real world" data on how energy consumption for 200 highway miles in a Bolt compares to 200 highway miles in, say, a Model Y in terms of actual energy used.
Yes, I know lots of discrepancy on weather, route, conditions, (and obviously vehicle size/weight/drag)etc. I'm just looking at range estimates in vehicles with similar sized packs and assuming there must be some huge swings in how efficiently those electric motors actually use that energy.
