Hi All,
I have been cruising here for a while, and just yesterday jumped in and bought myself a '72 Mini Moke for an EV Conversion.
I thinks it great that people are coming at these projects for all angles, but I want to keep it simple(ish) on a first build so I was thinking about 5x Tesla Battery in series and Hyper 9 motor/controller.
The Moke will be coming to me without the engine but still with the gearbox, so I guess I will be blanking the top of the gear box off and mounting the motor over that with direct gear or chain drive, the alternative is to ditch the gear box and fit a chain drive diff as used in the various bike engine mini conversions, but this part alone is the nearly £2K (new)
The floor of the moke is flat so lends itself (to my way of thinking) to have the fabricated battery boxing just mounted directly to the floor with the seats straddling them.
My first question- is a hyper 9 motor oversized for this size vehicle? the original engine had 80(ish) FP of torque but the the hyper 9 is 120HP /173FP.
Also any idea what kind range I might get with a 5 Tesla packs..it not very hilly around here.
I have put a picture of the car on my web site: www.sec-marine.com
Cheers all
