I did some calculations and wonder if I made any obvious mistakes.
The efficiency of 250Wh/mile multiplied by the range of 80 miles gives us a total energy of 250x80=25,000W or 25kWh. Since we already determined our voltage was 120V this means our Ah rating will be the total energy divided by the voltage. In this case 25,000W / 120V = 208Ah.
For Lithium batteries multiplying our Amp-hour rate 120V by 1.32(275 Ah).
Does this sound about right?
how does this translate into what batteries I need?
thanks
