Favorable benchmark weather

[bwilson4web]

Hi,

It looks like Saturday and Sunday sunrise will be perfect weather for another set of benchmarks:

• 25 mph - without head lights, close enough to sunrise
• 50 mph - without head lights
• 75 mph - " " "

I will also make some compare and contrast photos:

• CHAdeMO
• CCS-1
• J1772
• Tesla

I don't have a small scale to measure weight but can do that on another trip.

IF I have time, I may do a 'pulse and glide' vs 'cruise control' benchmark. Using my 2019 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus in 'standard' acceleration mode for six, opposite direction, same road runs:

• Pulse and Glide protocol:
  • Use "N" to glide to the low speed, 25 or 30 mph.
  • Use "cruse control" to accelerate to the pulse speed, 50 mph.
  • Measure "end-to-end" speed.
• Cruise control protocol:
  • Set to "end-to-end" speed.

To used the circular benchmark route, I used 45 mph. A 50 mph benchmark would require bidirectional passes. The ZIP file has the OpenOffice spreadsheet.
