What is the amount of electrical energy needed to move one pound of weight, X number of feet, in a typical all-electrical car?

For example – you have an electric car that weighs 1,000 pounds. How much electricity will you need to pull from your batteries to propel the car to various speeds?

I am guessing that this output will also determine the amount of stored energy (in batteries) that will be needed to propel the car X number of miles.

Is there a formula to determine the electrical output needed?

Thanks

Well, I know an electric car doesn’t pollute the environment at all, but you got to consider that it is polluting to produce the electricity at the first place. So, how much more does a gas driven car pollute the environment in one mile, compared to producing the electricity needed to drive an electric car for one mile?

What car is good for converting to an electric car?
I’m interested in a car that is lightweight, has a manual transmission, and has room for batteries. I’m trying to convert a gas car to an electric car, and I need one that is light, has manual transmission, room for batteries, etc, etc. Has anyone done that and has advice/know a good car for it? I have a limited price range, and I need a relatively cheap car for it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I’m doing a school report and I’m comparing electric cars to gasoline powered cars to see if car dealers should sell electric cars.
