cvt

Hi all – I am considering converting a Formula 500 car from ICE to electric, for use in autocross. It would run in A-Mod class, minimum weight is 900 lbs. ICE-based weight is about 575 lbs and I am around 200 lbs. I am still figuring out the components, but simplicity is a virtue for me...

Anyone know if anyone has successfully implemented a CVT on a city-driver conversion? (ie: 0-60 mph speeds) I just saw an article about a newer version that supposedly can handle higher torque than previous versions, which always seemed like the biggest hurdle to jump for EVs...
