dp1e electric racecar endurance testing

finally got to do some endurance testing with the dp1/e and the new battery. it did even better than we expected, ran for about 1.5 hours at varying speeds on the kart track covering some 45 miles. this is without using regen braking (it will be added later). overall, pretty encouraging stuff.

does it have a gearbox?

[MPalatov]

@tahn07 no, this version is single speed.

Can I get some specs on that vehicle, like motor, batteries and stuff like that? Going to build an electric car of my own, wanted to see what others are doing :)

[MPalatov]

@mobius1ace5 there are some details on our blog. just go to the palatov.com site, click on blog and then click on the dp1/e section...

The battery lasted one and a half hours, did you?!

[MPalatov]

@BennHerr we had 4 drivers. it would have been a challenge for one.

The gear whine sounds like a Ferrari 412-t2 V12. I love it!!!

How did you get the owner to let you drive that on the track?

These a very special batteries, made of Unobtainium Palatovinate, able to be created only under very specific conditions (long periods of fog, rain, gray days and mist, followed by intense dry heat, then soaked in sweat and tears).
