Re: [EVDL] bicycle racing
Or maybe it's that the Tour de France has an average distance of about 95
miles per day over very hilly terrain and they have 'range anxiety'/refuel
concerns about electric cars running out of batteries or not having access
to high power charging at all the stage stops.
Current off-the-shelf EVs from big manufacturers don't have enough safety
margin on their range for that duty.
Yes, a conversion could be designed with plenty of range, but I don't see
the PR people doing things that way. If the Leaf or a similar vehicle had
150 mile range, I think it'd be much more likely to happen.
