Stark Varg (6kWh) - 5 Hour Pony Express Strategy & 3kW Genny?

[mbw479]

Hey guys, I’ve got a 5-hour Teams Pony Express coming up and I’m taking the Varg 1.0 (6kWh battery). Looking for some real-world feedback on whether my charging setup will keep me in the race.

The Format:

• Duration: 5 Hours total.
• Laps: Approx. 35 minutes each.
• Rotation: Going lap-for-lap with a teammate (Standard 1-on, 1-off).
• Rest/Charge Window: Realistically ~30 minutes of "plug-in" time while my teammate is out.

The Setup:

• Bike: Stark Varg 1.0 (6kWh).
• Settings: Planning to run 45hp map with 30% Regen.
• Terrain: Tight/technical. Not much wide-open throttle.
• Charging: 3kW Generator. (Planning to set the app to ~2.4kW to avoid tripping the genny).

The Question: I’m estimating I'll use about 35-40% of the battery per lap, but I’m worried about the "battery bleed" over 5 hours.

1. Based on a 2.6kW charge rate, will a 30-minute charge window recover enough to keep me out of limp mode for 4-5 laps?
2. Has anyone run a similar format? Should I be dropping to a 35hp map from the start to survive the full 5 hours?
3. Any tips for managing battery temp while fast-charging in 30°C+ humidity?

Cheers for any insight!
