Here is a motor and acceleration calculator by the 4QD Company at:
http://www.4qd.co.uk/***/current.html
This info is from the Uve's Electric Vehicle Calculator site when it was up.
For my EV with a GE-11 motor with a manual transmission at a overall gear
ratio of 19.495:1, the current is over 600 + amps with a 7030 lb vehicle on
a 7% slope at motor stall.
Changing the transmission to a GM TH-400 automatic which is modified for
manual shift only using a large 12 inch torque converter that has a variable
ratio from 1.8 to 1.0 at 1700 rpm which is the stall speed of the
transmission. The overall ratio is now at 1.8 x 2.75 x 5.57 = 27.5715:1 for
a 6840 lb EV at 0 rpm.
The motor will start moving the EV at 375 rpm on the 7% degree slope at a
150 motor ampere at a estimate overall ratio 1.3 x 2.75 x 5.57 = 19.912:1.
In a normal vehicle with a automatic, the differential gear ratios are below
3:1, so the vehicle will only start to move 100 to 200 rpm above the idle
rpm.
