Accumulated fuel consumption over Cenex drive cycle for standard London taxi (TX2) and DuoDrive-equipped TX2 (blue line). In recent tests, the DuoDrive taxi demonstrated a 56% improvement in fuel economy compared to a standard London Taxi (TX2), and simulations predict that an improvement of 100% is possible with further optimization.

I have also seen people advertising EVs on eBay who claim 100 mile range from a one hour charge using a standard 110V outlet. Let’s consider a simple example, say an EV conversion that has a 120V pack and a range of around 30 miles. Note this value is in KW not KWHrs since it represents an amount of power delivered in a 2 second burst.
