What is the amount of electrical energy need to propel an electric car?

widevisiontechnologies.com asked:


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
