The plan is for this to be a hybrid electric, all batteries in the back with the electric motor and the Honda genset under the front hood. this will keep the balance near to original and the high current cables short. I bought a GE 9" series with only 8 hours on it, but it had a spun shaft in the armature. Jim at Hi Torque will be doing the work on the armature. additional notes: I would prefer 144 for battery range, but may cut back so as to not have to advance brush timing so far and loose torque. I'll know more once Jim at Hi Torque has a chance to look over the armature I sent. update! this will definitely be 144V once I can afford all of the batteries. update! there here! update! My armature is back from Jim Husted and it looks great! see photos. I finished the motor side of my custom DE plate with the exception of the cut outs for the fan exhaust; the transmission side is still in progress. (it just barely fits on the 9" lathe.) My hack job adjustable voltage EV charger is now functional, but will have many improvements before it is done. The DE plate is now complete and the motor and transmission are now assembled and ready to fit in the motor cradle. Update It's in! the motor is installed and my daughter and I drove it around the yard to day on 24v with no controller; she connected jumpers together to complete the circuit while I drove, and she disconnected when we needed to stop. It has been a while since I have updated this, I have since test drove the Fiero Electro using my home brew DC motor controller I am building; it is functonal, but still a work in progress. details in my controller thread; http://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/showthread.php/blackpanther-sts-home-brew-dc-motor-32083.html 2989 50 1000 600 2009-03-31 power slide 225/60R14 76 2009-10-24 2009-10-24T16:52:00Z 6169 1984 Yes 0-60 4 seconds 2008-07-11 1900 A123 batteries, built into modules 50p and 38s Me 120 A123 M1 Yes 4Hours Custom Custom 0 2008-07-11T19:06:59Z Custom 0 1800 Estimated 2010-06-01 39 757 Custom 240 SC 13" GE Orion 2330 20 150 100 2003-11-11 Yes 150 2009-03-21 2009-03-22T03:02:44Z 1052 2008 yes 2009-01-05 48s TS LFP200AH 156 Lithium Ion yes 3.5 to 7 PFC30 or custom 50amp Synkromotive (BETA) 41500 2009-01-05T22:12:25Z Iota 5500 3600 Actual 2008-12-24 480 117 582 Toyota 99 Rav 4 Warp 9 Powered By DC Rav4 EV This Rav 4 was converted by Powered By DC, LLC It has a range of around 100 miles per charge at freeway speeds.

EMR2 I wanted to do an EV build and the MR2 came along cheap, in great condition and with a dead engine for only £300. I wanted to use a car that would last the next 10 years and be desirable enough for me to want to be seen in. I didn't want to spend £10k on something that would still look like a scrap yard escapee. The requirement was to be able to drive the 70 mile round trip to work and back at 70mph almost all the way. No option on that as work and home are on motorway junctions. With lack of funds I am doing as much as I can with scrounged and salvaged parts. The motor will be a forklift 11" if I can get one and I am using the old AC compressor as the vacuum pump and possibly using an alternator to charge the 12v acc battery. I will make as many parts as I can but I would also like a really powerful controller as the heart of the build so may save and buy one. I would like to have the build finished quickly but I would rather it was slow and right then fast and wrong given there is no option on the 'cheap'. So far I have spent £750 including buying a lathe. 51 15 112 83 2009-08-16 Standard 225 45ZR17, 205 40R17 70 2009-11-04 2009-11-04T21:33:45Z 1851 1991 Yes, but still deciding on implementation. 0-60 in 10 seconds 2008-11-21 TS LFP 160Ah x 45 (23040 watt hr) Voltblocher cell balancers. http://www.voltblocher.com Thundersky 144 LifePO4 Vacuum pump http://s2kev.blogspot.com 6 hours EPS 200-24 Curtis 1231C-86xx 22000 2008-11-22T02:20:45Z Iota 45 amp 0 3200 Actual 2009-02-16 200 104 490 Honda 72 S2000 ADC FB1-4001A S2K EV Acceleration isn't complete. It's at about 20 seconds right now but I noticed that the Curtis is adding about a 2 second ramp up on amps each time you let off the accelerator to shift. I need to adjust this and remove the delay and retest. Top speed is limited by gearing more than anything. The DC motor and controller combo are only pushing 350 amps at top speed because I'm at close to 5,000 rpms in 6th gear. I still need to finish the heater and install the AC, but otherwise it's done.
