@fun4us2b 1000HP = 750kW (rounded up from 1HP = 746W).
I don't know this car's motor specifications but if it works at 500V as I think fairly typical for EVs, that takes a current of (750 000 / 500) = 1500 Amperes at full power, ignoring losses which would likely be quite heavy!
All right, let's say two motors in parallel: 750A per motor and control-circuit; still 1500A from the battery pack, at full chat. The latter level normally associated with steel-making furnaces and the like.
Is this correct? I wonder what is the battery capacity? And battery life? I can't imagine a power consumption on that scale, but if it is right, I can't imagine it will get you very far, especially on continental distances.
@ArishMell peak hp, so doesn't do it for long....746,000 watts! I dont get the the whole thing either, like electric heat must burn through battery capacity.
@fun4us2b Advertising puffery rather genuine figures, I fear.
I understand EV batteries are not intended to be either run totally flat or charged to their nominal maximum, either, but that latter problem might disappear.
