How much does a low battery, say one or two bars effect the exelleration of an electric car? Does the inverter just use more current when the battery voltage drops or is the 0-60 time effected by lower voltages? I ask this because last nite I finaly got to drag my Leaf against my Volt. I expected the Leaf to beat the Volt off the line up to around 30 mph and then I thought the Volt would take over. My Volt was steadily faster throughout the two races we did, but just barely, maby 1/4 second to 30 and 1/2 second to 60. I bet the Leaf would do do better with a full charge instead of the single bar I had. Ill do it again later.
