--= So, What About On A Single Battery? =--If I unplug one of the batteries, I only have 1500W of power output. In this case, the only modes available to me are Eco and Dynamic. My top speed is 45kph. My acceleration is close to 50cc.On that single battery, my range is also halved, since I only have the juice of the one battery to work with.Of course, if I plan to use one battery until it's at 15%, then unplug it and plug in the other fully charged battery (and use it until 15%), I theoretically have more range than I would have on my dual-battery set up. It would involve stopping halfway to switch plugs, but I would be limited to slow streets.But I'd never pass any slow moving vehicle, I'd feel unsafe if I cannot reach, say, a 50kph flow of traffic, and crossing a busy intersection would also feel unsafe.Can I do it? Sure. Would I do it? Nah. =D--= Extra Fun Stuff =--On electric, when going downhill, I give an initial jolt to have speed, then don't throttle at all. No throttle, no battery usage.My brakes are regenerative, meaning they capture the heat from braking to send some of that energy back into the batteries. On a a long ride from 100% to 15%, depending on the amount of braking I did, I can recuperate up to 6% charge, so I could reach 90km. I don't rely on this in my calculations, though, since I don't know how much I'll brake, and I prefer non-stop roads.Mixing these two facts together, I'll apply light braking during a long downhill, allowing me to get a few %s back in to my battery.--= Thank You For Attending My TED Talk... LOL =-- It has begun!
