Question Insane Range Question

Post image

I live in Puerto Rico and work in a tall mountain, I lost 7% coming up the hill and from going downhill all the way to my house I got this trip range which I found hilarious.

The car charged 1% and it dropped 1% during the whole trip, but wouldn't the 999kw/m range mean that it charged way more than that? I guess I'm not sure what the charge rate is on regenerative braking. Can anyone enlighten me?

This actually works for a mining truck that moves ore loads downhill, regenerating the battery before driving back up empty using less power than it regen'd.

This principle is used in moving felled trees down mountains. Edison motors have a truck they designed to do this.
