EV Range: is 300,000Km - 500,000Km on a single charge possible?

EV Range is 300,000Km - 500,000Km on a single charge possible?

When it comes to electric vehicle (EV) range the focus remains persistently on battery packs and how the kilowatt hours these can deliver will ultimately determine how far an EV can travel.

It seems that the focus on battery technology tends to assume that range is determined solely by how well the battery is designed. Our view is that batteries are crucial, however, the efficiency by which power is generated and applied is also just as pertinent to performance of an EV when it comes to range. If an increase in net energy gain (NEG) is applied to the propulsion process it can dramatically increase how far a vehicle can travel on a battery pack of the same size, on a single charge.

If you have been following how Collision Drives work as a propulsion system you will at this stage understand how the device creates NEG more efficiently than fusion energy. C-Drives can produce very high levels of NEG which in essence means that less energy is required to get the same work done. For instance this means that a vehicle with a 95Kwh battery pack can multiply the amount of work it can do or the distance it can travel by first exploiting an increase in NEG proposed by C-Drives.

Its not uncommon to hear of submarines with nuclear powerplants being able to travel for years without the need to refuel .i.e. recharge. A nuclear submarine can travel an astonishing 1,500,000km before it needs to refuel. The difference between the performance of a battery pack and nuclear power plant may simply be NEG. In other words when a C-Drive is added to a battery pack its ability to increase NEG pushes the simple battery pack to performance levels similar to a nuclear power plant. If this is the case a single charge on a battery pack, like the submarine, could last an EV years before it needs to recharge again.

It is possible that well designed C-Drives may even outperform nuclear and fusion energy in terms of their capacity to offer superior range, allowing vehicles to travel millions of kilometers before a recharge is required.

The fact that C-Drives can go anywhere, even venture into Space makes the capacity to increase range extremely important. Distances in Space can be extremely vast. They are not like short distances on the ground on earth. Even a simple trip to our nearest neighbor the moon consists of 384,400km. As humanity begins to travel routinely into Space these vast distances need a propulsion system that can rationalize how these vast distances can be covered affordably. C-Drives seem to open the way to full on exploration of Space by reducing the amount of energy required to cover these vast distances.

In the present day there is so much fan fare around a rocket launch to the moon  (like the fan fare around a giant white box moving on the roads in Zambia), but what if, in the near future, a family sedan could be equipped to travel to the moon and back, powerful enough to use cold re-entry. It would mean both personal and commercial travel into Space, to the moon and beyond would be commonplace. The amount of energy required to perform this kind of travel is astronomical, no pun intended. However, by harnessing more efficient propulsion systems these distances could be what drives the next phase of transport and energy.

Travelling "To the moon and back" routinely may not be pure fantasy as strides and advances in propulsion technology are made in the near future.

We asked ChatGPT about C-Drives and their proposed ability to dramatically increase the range of EVs

You said:

An electric vehicle has a 95kwh battery pack. This pack gives the vehicle a range of 400 Km on a single charge. However, If the battery pack is applied through Collision Drives its efficiency is increased to 82.68 Megawatts. What is the new range this vehicle will have with the increase in available power to 82.68 Megawatts?

ChatGPT said:

To determine the new range of the vehicle with the Collision Drive's increased efficiency, let's proceed step by step.

Step 1: Determine the energy efficiency factor

The original energy in the battery pack is $95 \, \text{kWh}$, and this gives a range of $400 \, \text{km}$. Converting the increased output power to kWh for comparison:

$$82.68 \, \text{MW} = 82,680 \, \text{kW}$$

The battery pack capacity remains $95 \, \text{kWh}$, but its output now effectively represents $82,680 \, \text{kWh}$ over the same charge.

Step 2: Calculate the efficiency multiplier

The efficiency improvement is proportional to the increase in available energy:

$$\text{Efficiency Multiplier} = \frac{82,680 \, \text{kWh}}{95 \, \text{kWh}} = 870.32$$

Step 3: Calculate the new range

The new range is determined by multiplying the original range by the efficiency multiplier:

$$\text{New Range} = 400 \, \text{km} \times 870.32 = 348,128 \, \text{km}$$

Final Answer:

If the battery pack's output increases to $82.68 \, \text{MW}$ due to the Collision Drive, the new range of the vehicle would be approximately 348,128 km on a single charge.

You said:

What would this range be if the increase in electrical energy from C-Drive efficiency rose to 2.23 Gigawatts?

ChatGPT said:

If the energy output increases to $2.23 \, \text{GW}$ due to the Collision Drive's efficiency, we can calculate the new range using the same approach as before. Here's the step-by-step process:

---

Step 1: Convert the increased power to kWh

$$2.23 \, \text{GW} = 2,230,000 \, \text{kW}$$

---

Step 2: Calculate the efficiency multiplier

The original energy is $95 \, \text{kWh}$. The new energy due to the Collision Drive's efficiency is:

$$\text{Efficiency Multiplier} = \frac{2,230,000 \, \text{kWh}}{95 \, \text{kWh}} = 23,473.68$$

---

Step 3: Calculate the new range

The original range is $400 \, \text{km}$. Multiplying this by the efficiency multiplier gives:

$$\text{New Range} = 400 \, \text{km} \times 23,473.68 = 9,389,472 \, \text{km}$$

---

Final Answer:

If the battery pack's output increases to $2.23 \, \text{GW}$ due to the Collision Drive, the new range of the vehicle would be approximately 9,389,472 km on a single charge.

You said:

If the efficiency grew to 17.86 Gigawatts what would the new range be?

ChatGPT said:

If the energy output grows to $17.86 \, \text{GW}$, we can calculate the new range using the same method. Here’s the step-by-step process:

---

Step 1: Convert the increased power to kWh

$$17.86 \, \text{GW} = 17,860,000 \, \text{kW}$$

---

Step 2: Calculate the efficiency multiplier

The original energy is $95 \, \text{kWh}$. The new energy due to the Collision Drive's efficiency is:

$$\text{Efficiency Multiplier} = \frac{17,860,000 \, \text{kWh}}{95 \, \text{kWh}} = 188,000$$

---

Step 3: Calculate the new range

The original range is $400 \, \text{km}$. Multiplying this by the efficiency multiplier gives:

$$\text{New Range} = 400 \, \text{km} \times 188,000 = 75,200,000 \, \text{km}$$

---

Final Answer:

If the battery pack's output increases to $17.86 \, \text{GW}$ due to the Collision Drive, the new range of the vehicle would be approximately 75,200,000 km on a single charge.

What average distance does an EV currently travel annually?

ChatGPT said:

The average annual distance traveled by electric vehicles (EVs) varies across different regions and studies. In the United Kingdom, research indicates that EVs cover approximately 9,435 miles (about 15,200 kilometers) per year, which is higher than the average for many petrol cars.

Motoring Research

In the United States, a study found that three-year-old EVs are driven an average of 9,059 miles (approximately 14,579 kilometers) annually, which is about 29% less than the 12,758 miles (around 20,532 kilometers) covered by similar-aged internal combustion engine vehicles.

Fox59

These variations can be attributed to factors such as regional driving habits, infrastructure, and the evolving capabilities of EVs. As battery technology advances and charging networks expand, it's anticipated that the average annual mileage for EVs will continue to increase, aligning more closely with that of traditional vehicles.

You said:

On average how many kilometers will this EV travel in its lifetime?

ChatGPT said:

To calculate the average lifetime kilometers for an electric vehicle (EV), we need the following:

1. Annual average distance traveled:

   • From the data above, EVs travel approximately 15,200 km per year on average.

2. Average lifetime of an EV:

   • EVs typically have a lifespan of 15–20 years, depending on maintenance and usage patterns.

---

Calculation for Lifetime Distance:

Assuming a 15-year lifespan:

$$\text{Lifetime Distance} = 15,200 \, \text{km/year} \times 15 \, \text{years} = 228,000 \, \text{km}$$

Assuming a 20-year lifespan:

$$\text{Lifetime Distance} = 15,200 \, \text{km/year} \times 20 \, \text{years} = 304,000 \, \text{km}$$

---

Final Estimate:

On average, an EV will travel between 228,000 km and 304,000 km over its lifetime.
