Anyone know the efficiency of the electric motor in a typical hybrid car? (Mech power out)/(Electric power in).

Thanks!
 
Sorry this ended up in the wrong forum. If there are any moderators here, please move it to the engines forum. Thanks!
 
90-95% peak
But as you know, the efficiency of an electric motor varies substantially over the complete map of torque and speed.

That's pretty good. Any chance you can provide any links or references for typical maps, Greg?

Thanks,
