In July of 2009 Michael Thwaite and Madushini (Maddy) drove thier 2009 Tesla Roadster from coast to coast on the Renew America Roadtrip. I followed them from Las Vegas to Barstow on a hot sunny day a distance of 156 miles all up hill average speed of about 60 miles an hour fastest 75 mph. The roadster is powered by a 3-phase, 4-pole electric motor, producing a maximum net power of 248 hp (185 kW). Maximum torque is 200 ft-lbf (270 Nm), obtained at 0 rpm and almost constant up to 6,000 rpm. It has a 41KW per hour battery pack of 6,831 lithium ion cells connected in series; each sheet contains 9 "bricks" connected in series; each "brick" contains 69 cells connected in parallel this type of lithium-ion cell found in most laptop computer batteries. It's designed to prevent catastrophic cell failures
from propagating to adjacent cells, even when the cooling system is off. Coolant is pumped continuously when the car is running and when the car is turned off the coolant pump draws 146 watts. The pack is expected to retain 70% capacity after 5 years and 50,000 miles of driving.
Tesla Inc. stated in February 2009 that the current replacement cost of the battery pack is slightly under USD$36,000, with an expected life span of 7 years/100,000 miles, Tesla is offering owners an option to pre-purchase a battery replacement for USD$12,000 today with the replacement to be delivered after seven years. Tesla Motors provides a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty

In 1985 Bill Kuehl drove his "73" Honda Civic conversion over 100 miles on a single charge. It had a configuration you may not see again; a 7" Prestolite motor and Russco controller with 16x6 volt and 8x12 volt deep cycle lead acid batteries. The 6.3 mile course was set up on the streets of Santa Clara California. Bill went 16 laps at an average speed of 25 mph and top speed of 35 mph. We are honored to have him join the club this day in Dec 2007; let the record show that he did it before any of the other members.

April 28 2006; Charles Whalen took first place! in the distance competition with his all electric Rav4 at the Fort Pierce 8th Annual Electric Vehicle Rally on a nice sunny day. During the 3 hour event Charles drove from Fort Pierce to Okeechobee and back, a 70 mile trip, twice for a total of 140 miles on a single charge, using approximately 20kwh at a cost of about $2. His average speed was around 45 mph. Some specs on his 2002 Toyota RAV4-EV SUV: it has a 27.36 kWh NiMH battery pack consisting of 24 12V, 95Ah modules, all connected in series, for a nominal pack voltage of 288V. It has an AC induction motor and controller /inverter. It's a 67hp motor, rated 50kW peak, 20kW continuous, and 190nm (140 ft-lbs) of torque.

In 2005 On a nice sunny day in May, Steve Clunn, Drove 110 miles from Ft Pierce (elevation 5 ft.) to Okeechobee(elevation 29 ft) and back, then back to Ft Pierce and then back to Okeechobee, he drove up hill twice.
