Howdy,
I hope the list priests don't smack me down for this.
I'm looking to make my EV into a part-time series hybrid by adding a
highly efficient diesel crate motor and making it into a generator. I
realize I'll also need control electronics and such.
The biggest thing I need to figure out right now is how to aquire the
motor and any emissions control equipment that should come along with
it. I hear that there is a glut of great used motors in Japan but I
don't know where to start looking for a seller or how to import said
motor. There are design considerations, as well. Once I know what's
available, I can begin to plan the overall design, which will inform
which motor I will purchase and what other components I will need to
assemble the full genset.
While I realize that this is only peripherally an EV topic, I was
hoping some of the folks on the list could point me toward some good
resources.
Thanks,
Matt Kenigson
