The car is indeed what I thought it would be for €200.:D
If I get on-board, I'll convert my current ICE, so I don't have to pinch my nose.:D
And I'll increase the budget to €2000.

I've seen your video in which you present the 600A/600V IGBTs.
I guess you'll be changing direction electronically with the full IGBT bridge, the low side on/off (the new TH driver board) and PWM on the high side.

How about two MOSFETs and two schottky diodes? MOSFETs on the high side, diodes in the low side leg. Unidirectional. Any chance that such a setup is compatible with the REVOLT and your ideas?
For driving in reverse I'll use the existing gearbox. Is it possible that the switch for the reversing light on the gearbox puts the controller in low torque mode?

WOW!! Almost 750 pages on ecomodder.
I'd love to see the math for the power stage of this beast. Could be something like five pages A4.
So far haven't found it, only about 700 pages to go. :D But I did see the picture of your build somewhere near the end.

Nichrome..:D

Thanks for demonstrating how easy it is to get traction from a DC series motor.
Getting sparks does mean more views, but a controlled way to deliver power is preferred. :p
Regen won't work, so all you need for a controller is a voltage (throttle) to PWM converter (SOT23, three or four parts), current and temperature feedback (LEM sensor,NTC), a power gate driver ( 1 TO220 device) and a mosfet/schottky power stage.

The driver is the feedback path for torque and speed control.:cool:

BTW, I think I can do a conversion for less than 200 Euro.
Using the starter motor of my current ICE ride. Add the simple DC series controller et voila.
Won't go faster than about 20km/h, so it's in the category agricultural vehicles up to 25km/h max speed.
