We are doing a conversion for our company vehicle. I am very familiar with the smaller Curtis, Alltrax, and Logisystem controllers. However, I am a novice when It comes to the higher end controllers and motors. I have heard a lot of good things about the Soliton, but for half the price I can get the 120v Curtis. I have a customer here in town, getting great results with the Curtis at about 50 miles per charge, with daily freeway use. We are on a tight budget for this project, but will be spending a lot of it on the controller. We have a great inside connection for AC drives and AC motors, but not for DC/AC inverters.
What is the best higher voltage dc controller for the buck?
Until someone creates an affordable DC/AC inverter like Prius, DC is where we are heading with this project.
The Prius inverter might work, we will be trying to gather the 280+ volts it needs to start testing it. (Sorted through years of info and wiring diagrams, but still no headway besides basic inputs and outputs.)
Prius Inverter
In conclusion, what's the best controller for the money?
I can get top of the line AC motors, so will the Prius Inverter work in a stand alone enviroment?
