Hey folks,
Finally have some rough prices. These are 'CFR' which means it includes freight, but not duty fees and import taxes which 'likely' amount to $1-300 based on the size and cost of the motor you purchase.
It seems that we will be able to group together with the folks in New Zealand for a bulk buy. This will get everybody a better price. The U.S.-bound motors will be directly shipped to the port of Seattle where I will pick them up. We can mix and match motor sizes and still get the bulk price. The ratings are in KW which you can multiply by 1.34 to get hp. The manufacturer says the peak power for very short duration (a 10-20 second drag race) is 4x the rated kw. The price somewhat depends on the size of the order. The first price column is for 5-10 motors and the 2nd column is for 10-15 motors.
Power 5+... 10+... $/kw Volts
22kw $1955 $1855 $84 3-400
30kw $2295 $2175 $73 3-400
35kw $2625 $2490 $71 3-400
40kw $2830 $2680 $69 3-400
45kw $2910 $2760 $61 3-400
55kw $3385 $3210 $58 3-400
60kw $4050 $3840 $64 5-600
Any motor size can be special ordered in higher voltage but will cost a bit more (10-15%).
The Scott controller will be priced about $3000 for the standard 400 amp version. The 600 amp version will likely be around $500 more which is not bad for 50% more power. The high voltage version doesn't have a price yet, but will likely be another couple hundred more.
It sounds like the order will be placed in the next couple of weeks. If you are interested, please pm me and we can work out the details of payment and shipping to your location. The prices above are rounded to the $5 for simplicity and include absolutely no increase from me. This is the estimated price off the boat but before customs and duties and taxes. These prices are subject to change by the manufacturer and shipper and may go up or down slightly.
Cheers
