I'm running 36 SE/CALB 100ah cells with an AC HPEVS motor and Curtis 1238
550amp controller in my 2500lb Fiero. The motor spins to 6500RPM and I can
hit 67mph in second, I do most of my driving in second, which is about a 7:1
total drive ratio. I think your low end acceleration will be pretty weak at
4.44 gearing and you'll be drawing a lot of current and heating the motor at
lower speeds.

I have always thought that a Fiero would make a great conversion. Do
you have a web page that I can read up on your car ?

How many miles do you have on the CALB cells ? Any problems with them
or are they just doing what they should ?

I am building mine with LiFePO4s at 154 volts and using a Jim Husted 8
inch
motor. I am wondering what is the thought to what I should expect for
performance. At this point it will be direct drive using a 4:44 gear.
This
will get me almost 70 mph top speed. I figure if I don't like it I
will up
the differential to a Ford 8.8inch and get the ratio up to 5.13:1 but
will
loose top end.
Almost forgot. I figure somewhere around 2,600 pounds

I think I'm around 5-6K miles on it, no problems with the CALBs so far, I
run them pretty hard at about 1.5C average and bursts of 5.5C when I get on
it.

My Comuta-Car had a 5.13 axle and 12" tires, and it weighed only 1400lb. It
pulled disastrous currents when climbing moderately steep hills. When I put
a 350 amp controller in it, the motor stopped overheating and burning out
brush pigtails, but then I needed a running start for even slight hills.

With a sufficiently stout motor and a vorpal controller, I'm sure you can
make a driveable car, but I don't think your battery will be very happy.

Fieros aren't as light as they look (the Honda NSX is even heavier). If you
want a midmotor 2-place EV, a Fiat X1/9 might be a better glider. It's a
good 25% lighter. The challenge is to find one that doesn't have terminal
cancer.
