Hi guys and girls,
I am a 20 year old electrical/mechanical student from scotland and i am planning to convert an Austin Mini 1000 to an EV. I have a little knowledge of various mechanical and electrical components but i am struggling to piece it all together for example what type of controller to look for, Pro's and con's, Batteries to get and how big my motor needs to be.
I am doing this as part of my University project and i need to document and understand everything so whatever folk on here can teach me is excellent! In my day to day travelling i think i cover about 10 miles, 40 if i am going about and seeing my friends so i dont need a massive range, i would prefer to a quick car. But thats why i am here, to find out what i can and cant do.
