Hi wa8yxm,
2 to 3 days to fully charge from empty.
top speed 75 mph
453 miles (730 km) on a sunny day while reaching up to a range of 372 miles (600 km) when cloudy.
That's about how far my class C goes on a full tank of fuel.
Reminds me of the old idea in design:
- You can have high quality.
- You can have big.
- You can have low cost.
Pick any 2.
Being a student design project, I would expect graphs showing range under a variety of speeds & conditions.
The exception being high quality and low cost. Never see that pairing in RV's.
It might be a very simple tear drop but you can do it.
The point is without providing the assumptions regarding range, speed and charging times, providing those details independent can be highly misleading if people assume it's 450miles per day at 75mph and do it again the next day.
