Raven P100DL power measurement anyone?

[sorka]

Has anyone with a newer Raven P100DL measured the power output? The newer car is doing 10.5s at the track without removing weight which is quite a bit faster than the previous P100DL.

Nobody???

My Raven Performance (P100DL) pulled a max of 578.2 kW with Ludicrous+ and launch mode. I'm guessing you're seeking measured power output at the wheels though?

0-60 performance is mostly a function or torque limits not power limits. Until someone pulls CANBus data from a raven performance run we won't know much.

Nope. Just battery power is what I was after.

That's certainly higher than any pre Raven P100DL. How much was your battery charged when you took that reading and had you just turned L+ on or had it been on for long enough to warm the battery to optimal?

That's about 775 hp at the battery. There's about a 10% loss from inverter to motor output which makes it about 700 hp at the drive shaft.

You're almost certainly traction limited below 60 MPH. Was that max reading above 60 mph?

Battery was just over 90%, and max battery was fully enabled and "ready". Unfortunately, I don't recall when that max reading was achieved. From memory/feel, I'd say somewhere between 30-60mph, but take that with a grain of salt.

I'm attaching my Dragy results for that run.

Cool. I just wanted to make sure you were WOT past 60 MPH. So the draggy shows it all. So that is the maximum power. The highest I've seen previously was 567 kw under ideal conditions. So it's more but not enough to account for a 1/2 second improvement in the 1/4. Most like that improvement is the result of a more efficient front motor and most likely less EMF back force on that motor so that power doesn't pull back at higher speeds like it does with dual induction motors.

Definitely seems to have a little more at higher speeds. For completeness, I'm attaching the drag strip results.

Man, Draggy is so accurate.

How does one get the screen to show this data?

 

[lagomorph]

You need to engage Ludicrous+ and Max Battery. Once the battery is fully heated, the screen will appear.

 

[SDRick]

Thanks, good to know.
Any idea on how to get the screen to display earlier or why it was designed to display only once the battery was fully heated and ready?

 

[lagomorph]

To the best of my knowledge, it cannot forced to appear prior to the battery being fully heated. I would certainly prefer it displayed indefinitely, regardless of whether I'm activating the max battery option. But unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

How do you get this screen?
