Oh I'm sure it won't go that high.
I was making a point about extrapolating the instantaneous mpg readout on an IC engine pulling 18,000 lbs uphill @ 60 mph, and comparing to the unloaded cruising EV range.
If a 100 kWh pack was asked to put out constant 350 hp (261kW), it'll be drained flat in 23 minutes. Provided the pack can take a continuous 3C discharge without overheat.
Yah I can imagine. I think the lower rated trucks will have 120 - 140 kw packs, the big boys with 12000-14000 tow rated packs will have 160 to 240 kw packs. Hard to say.
