Hello everyone!
I have just recently stumbled into the world of DIY EVs and would love to try to make one. I am currently in school to become an electrical engineer but would still definitely consider myself a beginner. I am hoping to create an electric RX-7 that is able to use the supercharger network.
My questions are as follows:
Can I buy a Model S battery pack? Does that include a BMS that would allow me to use the supercharger network?
If it does not include a BMS, are there any aftermarket options that would allow me to use the supercharger network?
Is it the BMS or the controller that effects supercharging?
How much machining is needed to fit motors? I see adapter plates are available for rx-7 builds. Are those all I need to secure the motor in place? I plan to pay a mechanic to remove the engine and want to mess with mechanical things as little as possible as I believe anything that I create will be far worse than a commercial product.
I hope that my questions aren't too stupid. Thanks!
