Hi All
Some raw data on performance of the Toyota Hilux 2.7 litre petrol converted to electric drive.
Weight
before, 1363kg
after, 1940kg (measured), but with changes after expect it to be 1926 kg
Hp
before, from The Red Book, 108kW @ 4800rpm = aprox 144hp
after, rated at 100
but voltage is 144 nominal at max 500 amp (speed controller max) = 72,000 watts. Therefore 72 kW / 0.746 = 96.5 hp.
Acceleration
before, 0-60km/hr in 6 seconds, 0-100km/hr in 15 seconds
after 0-60 in 12 seconds, 0-80km/hr in 18 seconds, and 0-100km/hr in 30 seconds.
Top Speed
Have had it to 120 km/hr on relative flat ground and don’t expect any more.
Amp Draw
200-250 amps at 100 km/hr
130-150 amps at 80 km/hr
80-100 amps at 60 km/hr all on relatively flat ground.
Range
Have done 100 km driving at 80 km/hr on highway
Have done 80 km driving at 100 km/hr on highway
Town driving at 60 km/hr (accelerate and coast) is expected to be at least 120 km, but still yet to test it.
Electricity
1) 50km driving used 19.2 kW measured at the supply meter box.
2) 60 km driving used 20 kW measured at the supply meter box.
Electricity Cost
1)19.2 kW / 50km x $0.06 (super economy rate) x 100 = $2.42 per 100 km
2) 20 kW / 60km x $0.06 (super economy rate) x 100 = $2.10 per 100km.
Total km
driven so far is 342182 – 340092 = 2090km
There has been lots of general use. All the usual things you use a ute for. It’s a great ferry taking Dale (my young boy) to school and back. Marcy has been driving it more than me.
No problems driving in the rain, and muddy/gravel road. I have driven through the creek that is between home and the highway, water about 200-300mm deep.
