CfeqEquivalent capacitance*frequency of the controller0.00015625


Using an approximated value of Pmax for the entire car as 9kW, including mechanical and non-controller electrical losses, the per motor controller peak power is 4.5kW. Meaning the approximated output current will vary between 39between 29.7A 8A - 55.6A  45A  (Nominal 4634.3A7A


From this we can plot the efficiency of the motor controllers versus the voltage and the current using Desmos.
