According to Tesla Motors, the Tesla Model S using a their newest P100D battery rated at 100 kWh and weighing in at over 1,200 pounds has a driving range of 337 miles. That equates to 3.37 miles per kWh of storage.

Utilizing an Altec Power AP3 battery, the Tesla Model S could travel 1685 miles on a full charge.

The typical motorist wants a vehicle with a range of 500 miles. On a full charge. According to Motor1.Com the electric vehicle with the longest range is the Tesla. It still leads all automakers when it comes to operating range, with its flagship Model S sedan with its top P100D version able to run for as much as a claimed 337 miles on a charge. That means if you left San Francisco you’d run out of charge before you got to Los Angeles.

According to Google Maps the driving distance from San Francisco to Los Angeles is 383 miles.  Using an AP3 the Tesla Model S could make 2 complete round trips from San Francisco to Los Angeles and still have energy left in the AP3.

People want an electric car with at least a 500 mile range. The typical electric vehicle gets approximately 3.3 miles per kWh of energy storage which requires at minimum a 160 kWh battery.

Ultra capacitors cost approximately  $3,700 per kWh, so a 160 kWh energy storage system using ultra capacitors would cost about $592,000.

Altec Power plans to sell the AP160 a 160 kWh battery for about $14,000.
