The Power from the battery has to go through the motor. The motor is really efficient but it isn't 100% efficient. You will get some losses there that the ICE vehicle doesn't experience because the power is measured after the engine.You're correct, I read something backwards.
The E-ray is doing 495 HP in the ICE engine at the crank, and a DCT transmission drops a similar amount of power as an inverter and motor.
It's unclear where the E-ray is measuring the "160 HP" front electric motor power.
495 crank HP has to go through a multi-gear transmission, differential, and wheels.
EV power has to go through a single gear transmission (more efficient), differential, and wheels.
They're not really different. Your point that 462kW is at the battery and 495HP is at the crank is valid, but it's not clear how much heat loss the motor and inverter has, and how much of that is made back via the simpler single speed transmission.
Yes, above 60 MPH for sure, but I was just pointing out that in 0-60, 462kW is plenty to get into the 2 second range 0-60. Beyond that of course something like an E-ray will walk on a current M3P. That doesn't have to be true if the new M3P can maintain 462kW from 40 MPH to 100MPH+.
I think the gearing for ICE vs. EV is the biggest factor for 0-60 mph. The Model 3 doesn't hit peak power until right before 60 mph. The ICE vehicle is hitting peak power by 20 mph and then basically holding it the rest of the way to the top speed. Yes, gearing doesn't matter if power is flat. However, EV power is increasing the entire time during a 0-60 mph run.
