A few things I haven't seen mentioned is that all these posts are archived so that people can look things up and how crazy am I does not say anything about Mustang hybrid conversions. This is why I replied with a new title so it can be archived for other people to research later.
I read that you are a little discouraged about finding out that amps don't add along with voltage. That said, you should also know that it does not take a lot of power to go down the road. 300 to 500 watt hours per mile may be confusing for you. 10 to 15 horsepower for cruising and 50 horsepower for accelerating moderately is what we're talking about. We have had the ac vs dc argument here so many times. If you leave out the money factor AC. Maybe is the way to do it , I will concede that. I am doing a project right now that is similar to what you are talking about in some ways ( it can be seen on my website) This will have a small generator in the front instead of the original gas engine as has been talked about here. It has 48- 200ah cells and we'll have a 20 horsepower gas generator sitting where the engine used to be. TWO - 9" Net Gain Motors connected to the drive shaft and a 2k Zilla Controller, which will cost about the same as Two AC motors 31s 51s. I've done this setup 4 Times now and this is the performance the customer got. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jc066nITnY and... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd792WXJmLg Green Shed Conversions (dot com) Sells hi output batteries and I have seen them put out 60C or 300 amps from a 5amp http://www.greenshedconversions.com/Pages/HIGHENDBATTERIES.aspx The problem with these high output cells is that they cost five times as much as the regular lithium so one could have five times the range at the same cost which would be proximately 25ah and give a possible 100 amps instantaneous power.. Those are the trade-offs. -- Steve & Audrey Your Green Shed Team 772-971-0533 Merging the BEST of the PAST with the best of the FUTURE.
