If you are going to sell them after you build one of your own, it is going to be very difficult to beat the Tesla on performance, safety, and value/dollar. You want a convertible, cut the top off of a Tesla. Do it very nicely and neatly of course, but that would be your best option. Sell that

I’m on this list so that I can learn what it’ll take to convert a classic mustang to an EV with decent if not good performance. To that end, my understanding is that AC motors which produce a reasonable amount of power are out of reach from the likes of you and I, on account of the expensive

I would sure hope it would! Otherwise I'd just go ICE. I know I can build an ICE to outrun a Tesla. But until Tesla starts building 2-door convertible sports cars (again) we are not competing for the same customers. Finally, I don't need to sell many cars. I will be selling uniqueness (again,

The Tesla turns on brake lights beyond a certain level of regen. At 60 mph, it takes about 30 kW of regeneration. At slower speeds, it is less. It is about the amount of braking that feels significant and starts to push you into the seat belt. One nice thing about the single pedal driving

Sounds like a great idea ! I may do it, too. I think I can give you an answer why Nissan didn't put the 120v ESVE under the hood. If a lay customer has to open the hood, it may make him feel like the car is broken. Why else does a non motor head open the hood? Peri -- Original

Re: [EVDL] Leaf donor car? Re: Books on converting a car to ev?

Series DC motors are about as cheap as you can get in terms of raw torque and HP per dollar. That's why they're used in forklifts (and electric drills and vacuum cleaners). I'm not a motor expert, but I suspect that the total system cost is low because the controller is relatively simple.

During 8 hours at work, any 120v L1 outlet should add back maybe 36 miles range. Or, if there are two 120v outlets on different circuits and they happen to be out of phase, you can use a "Y" cable and operate your L1 EVSE at 240v. That will pick up 72 miles range during 8 hours. As to your other

I was thinking more along the lines of taking the Leaf parts and rearranging / repackaging them into pickup truck usage. As an example, an AC motor and controller from EV sources would be $7K or more. I've seen a used Tesla motor and controller for $5K. I'm sure a Leaf motor and controller

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Fed-Regs allow regen to turn brake lights on

That's what I've heard other people say. But, in B mode the Leaf does have decent regen. I've successfully driven in B mode such that I don't have to use the actual brakes until around 8MPH. So, I'd say that it certainly should turn the brake lights on for B mode regen. Maybe it isn't so critical
