As I put in the description:
Multiple drivers.
Multiple trips.
- In town at speeds under 35 mph heavy assist use and then plugging in. 10 miles
- 10 mile trip not using any Enginer system at all. A bit in town under 35, rest rural 2 lane hwy 55 mph.
- 40 mile trip at low highway speeds. 55 mph road. Travelling 5 to 8 mph under speed limit at times on highway. Trying to eke every bit of mpg. 15 mph side wind at times. Enginer system lasted about half of it. (Achieved 96 mpg on this trip.)
Now, the around own portion could probably be accomplished by simply creating a way to recharge just the stock pack. Since I'm probably not using a whole pack-full of electricity before being able to recharge.
But so far, I'm enjoying the combination of the Enginer system and MIMA. |
Eric, thanks for accumulating this useful data. I applaud your willingness to experiment and provide the rest of us your results while we observe from the sidelines. I know there are several approaches to the booster battery system holy grail. I'm chomping at the bit to get one into my 2006. Looking forward to Mike D's and other's variations on what you've done with Jack Chin's components. Good job, man.
