Hi there,
I'm reading a report about the efficiency of the drive train of an electric car. The author recorded the speed and acceleration of the car over a period of time and created the graph below to illustrate the efficiency.
Could anybody tell me what the relationship is between the speed/acceleration plot a car in general? Why would one use this plot to illustrate the efficiency and can one determine an average efficiency from the raw data?
Thanks for your help
