How to calculate the road slope?
 
A very important parameter in the choice of an electric vehicle is the maximum slope it can face. To calculate the percentage of slope in a simple way you have to apply the following formula:
 

If I cover one meter and I rise 30 cm the percentage of slope is 30%.
In practice how to do?
Just take a one meter shaft, a spirit level and a plumb line. Put the rule horizontally checking with the level, and then write down how long is the plumb wire, this distance will be the searched percentage.
Make attention don't confuse percentage and degrees. A 100% slope is a 45° slope... (try with the just explained method!)
