I’ve replaced all but the headlights with LEDs and seen a dramatic decrease in current during their usage. What was interesting is that I did not have to replace the blinker relay (apparently you need to on newer cars). I got the LEDs from www.superbrightleds.com.
I’ve also made regen a normal part of driving, so I’ll need to put back the circuit that lights up the brake lights when regen is active. The reason for this is to make shifting easier – when regen is active the motor quickly drops from high RPMs to almost zero within a second or two.
So I’ve done another set of calculations, and I’m getting 350wh/mile driving to and from work. Most of this is freeway driving with some stop-n-go.
