rjstractor,
I found 24 kw to move 100 miles, on the wobbly wide web. (model 3 Tesla)
However I did not know that when plugged in the tesla won't move. I guess that is a good safety feature.
Don, a Model 3 doesn't go 100 miles on 24 kilowatts, it goes 100 miles on 24 kilowatt/hours. I think you're confusing the concepts of absolute power output (kw) and power output over time (kw/hr). It's kind of like the idea of torque and horsepower.
........
Again, please use the correct units...particularly if you are correcting the use of units.
24 kw/hr implies if you start from a standstill the power output will gradually ramp up from 0kw until an hour later it will be at 24kw (assuming you continue for an hour). In common usage, it's a nonsense value that has no real use.
The correct units are kilowatt hours (KWH).
My most sincere apologies for adding an extra 'r'. You know what I meant, an output of 24 kw for 1 hour. Is that not what a kwh is?
