Thanks Darell. It sounds like the efficiencies up-hill are similar to any small car. The difference, of course, comes when you recapture a lot of that on the way downhill.
Yup. Just like jtr demonstrated, the only thing that really matters is the delta h and the mass. It is the same for any vehicle. If I loose 20% of my SOC in the climb, then a similar gas car will also lose 20% of its fuel economy on the same climb. And the difference, as you point out, is that you get a gift when you do turn around and come back down.
I'll even pay half of it. What's that cost, Darell? Oh! Yeah! It's free because of his solar setup.
Oh... I'm still willing ot take donations to pay off my PV array early.
