I plan to make my first conversion. Car donor will be a suzuki SJ410.
After two weeks reading I am not still decided which motor choice.
alibaba full of chinese motor, some with good specifications on paper, but not sure and confident of reliability in chinese products.
One of my options is take the motor from a Prius or a Leaf.
One forum user is doing the conversion but it look now he is with problems:

Also I am not sure to understand the resolver/encoder thing.
But principal problem is Leaf is not a common car in my country, Spain, so It is hard to get the motor.
So the principal option is the Prius MG2,very common. I have seen it is a sinchronous permaneng magnets that need 500VAC, so battery might be about 707 volts (500x1,414). I think this will not be the problem if I use Paul controller.
I also see cooling water, but is very limited to only a fraction of the carcase. I am not sure if this will be a problem.
So I am amazed that nobody take this motor for doing an EV(I did not find anybody).
So what I am missing ? Am I a wrong with this motor ? Could i rescue also IGBT or inverter ?
Actually my alternatives are the siemens 1pv35... (very powerful but expensive) and I see last days an AC24LS very cheap but may be enough for my needs, no more than 100 kmh and no more of 60 km/day,
thanks for your opinion.
