  • • Use dimensionless Crr applicable to tires, load, pressure, speed and surface; it is not the tire-road peak friction coefficient. This is a level-road constant-coefficient approximation. Motor/battery power additionally needs drivetrain efficiency and other road loads.

Important limitation

This is an educational estimate based only on the values and formula shown. Verify current rates, rules, units, and professional standards before relying on the result. It is not personalized financial or investment advice.
