Electric car in the Philippines

Interesting. I doubt the range is realistic with basically a 6x12V = 72V, 130Ah battery, also considering that you need to leave 20% of the charge untapped even in deep cycle batteries to prevent damaging them. With a 10kW motor it lasts around 30 minutes under full load with full charge to 20% charge remaining. And since the motor with 10kW only has the power of a 150ccm Honda TMX motorbike you’ll need almost full power most of the time to move the car at reasonable speed.

Nevertheless, a very impressive development. It makes sense to start and with some better battery technology I think it has good potential. Congrats to the engineer.
