I’m new to this forum, but interested in electric vehicles. I am very familiar with combustion motors because my dad is a mechanic who has taught me a lot. I love anything vehicles, and with the way of the world I believe we are transitioning to EV’s with a full head of steam. I recently acquired a 1963 Ford N600 that needs some work and turning it into an EV sounded like a cool idea. I’ve started my research into the components of an EV and so I have a general understanding. I’m trying to do this for fun and probably slowly due to budget. I have only figured out that I would like a single motor system that could hopefully utilize the original transmission somehow. That being said, I have determined that a motor around 200 hp is what I need to give me the proper torque for take off as well as at highway speeds which would be between 2000 and 3000 rpms. My range would be probably a max of 100 miles and less would be fine for what I’m looking to do. Any ideas, advice, products, suggestions, and concerns are welcome. Thank you in advance.
