A few years ago, Juan bought a Honda S2000. It served him well, but now he’s converting it to electric power, and it’s going to be a beast.
Juan is using 104 battery packs each containing 4 cells in parallel. The total output of his battery assemblage is 686 kilowatts, or 920 horsepower. [Juan] is assuming his drive train will be 85% efficient, meaning his wheels will be getting 782 horsepower and 1500 ft/lbs of torque at 0 rpm. Yes, this thing is going to scream.
But that’s only half of 1.21 gigawatts. How will he ever power the time circuits?
5-Hour Energy Boost!
That’d do it, all right!
