Tacan on a track day ?
Discussion
Can anybody say:
1. How many miles on track might be possible from a fully charged battery ?
2. Silverstone has fast chargers, how practical would it be to run sessions and recharge between ?
3. At what point might the car or battery overheat ?
4. Would there be any prospect of thermal runaway ?
I ask because this was a sensible question asked at the Oulton Park trackday last Friday ... I have my opinion but only based on my trackday mpg and the performance of my Stihl electric lawnmower .... !

A Taycan can do roughly 1.1 flying laps of the ring before derate, assuming Silverstone is about 6km and the ring 20km it will do three laps of Silverstone GP by which point I wager the brakes will need a thorough cooldown PCCB or not.
This was the gist of my question ... if I use four times more fuel on track than I do on the road and the Tacan has a max range of 300 miles, that would imply a range of max 75 miles from full to zero.BUT, if rapid discharge creates heat and rapid charge creates heat and Li-Ion batteries can suffer thermal runaway above 60C and are therefore cooled (wasting more energy), what might be the real range on track assuming that you don't have to drive home ... or how long might you need to wait before recharging ?
In the case of my Stihl electric lawnmower, after it's second full discharge it was six hours before the Stihl charger would re-charge it ...
