2009 ZERO S / DS OWNER'S MANUAL
30
The Zero S/DS electric motorcycle is a true freeway capable zero emissions vehicle under California (CARB),
U.S. Federal (EPA), and European Union standards. It uses no gasoline or other liquid fuel. It has no tailpipe
and therefore no tailpipe emissions. It also has no exhaust or evaporative emissions. Because the Zero S/DS
runs solely on electricity, it is the only kind of vehicle which actually gets cleaner in terms of air pollution each year,
as the electricity grid gets cleaner and more renewable. Zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) offer greater efficiency,
and can help solve the serious air pollution, global warming, and energy security problems facing the country
and the world.
EMISSIONS
The Zero S and DS do not require any gasoline and as a result do not get ‘miles per gallon.’ For the sake of
emissions comparisons, the EPA estimates there to be about 33.705 kilowatt hours in one gallon of gasoline
(33.705kW-h/gal). When operating a Zero S or DS we estimate that you will use 3.7 kW-h before recharging.
Based on the EPA estimate, 3.7kW-h is equivalent to .10978 gallons. With that .10978 gallons a rider can travel
up to 50 miles. This means that the Zero S achieves incredible efficiency at 455.45MPG.
CALCULATION
EPA Electric vs. Gas Equivalent: 33.705 kW-h/gal
Energy used riding the Zero S/DS: 3.7kW-h
Range of the Zero S/DS: 50 miles
MPG= 50 miles / [3.7kW-h / 33.705 kW-h]
MPG= 455.45
