What is the Maximum Gradient a Vehicle Can Climb Based on Known Load Conditions?
I think that I am starting to get a grasp of this... maybe :) It is safe to assume that the manufacturer of the EV will have incorporated some kind of cutout override if the very expensive electric motor was on the point of self-destruct. In a practical sense one could therefore think of...- Tabvla

What is the Maximum Gradient a Vehicle Can Climb Based on Known Load Conditions?
Hi Simon, thanks for your reply. Apologies, I forgot to mention the stall speed. Theoretically the stall speed of these vehicles is Zero as they are 4x4 Petrol/Electric Hybrids. When the 4x4 Lock is activated each wheel is driven independently by the electric motors only. The petrol engine...- Tabvla

What is the Maximum Gradient a Vehicle Can Climb Based on Known Load Conditions?
. I need to calculate the maximum gradient that a specific vehicle will be able to climb when subjected to known load conditions. There are 6 calculations required for 4 sets of conditions. Values common to all calculations: - Weight of vehicle : 1800kg Weight of payload : 500kg Max gross...- Tabvla
