The car is a single seater. Looks akin to an F3 car. Space is going to be an issue, as is weight distribution. I know that the battery will be costly. I'm interested in seeing how costly. Do you know of any suppliers with battery packs that have a very high output?150 miles at very high speed ... Battery pack alone would be near 30,000$ for a civic size car ...
I would need the PM-250 correct? As each Yasa 750 has a peak power of 200kW right?Rinehart controllers for the Yasa motors, one per motor.
Thank you for your help. From what I'm seeing, these batteries can only be charged at low voltage. I need to be able to charge them faster. This would work as a 12v for the electronics but not as the battery pack.Check out tekbattery.com since space will be limited they can make batteries in any shape you want .... Very good power outputs but expensive obviously
The 85kWh pack gets 260 at 320Wh/mi. That pack costs 30k (if I remember correctly) using 600Wh/mi I'd get 130 mi. Car has a low CD and I am hoping to keep it very light.No not even close - triple it $90,000
150 miles is difficult and expensive - add "at very high speed" and you are getting close to impossible
Tesla's get 200 miles + at normal road speeds, at 120mph + that will drop to about 60 miles
Okay. So what about swapping multiple packs around. Let's say that the price isn't a big deal. If I had multiple (5?) smaller pack with enough range for 80 miles, would I increase cell life? The way I think about it is that if I deplete one pack to 10% and I put it to charge (outside of the car) while the next pack is swapped in I would only be depleting at a faster rate.You may not make it then. When researching the same thing for the Inhaler, I priced just the cells for a high-power Kokam-based pack at around $50K (much less range, but possibly more power than you're after?). That's not including connections, case - and most importantly BMS - you're not going to run these cells without a really good BMS, unless you just like the thought of roasting money over an open flame.
Thank you.I've driven two cars with AC motors that utilize the vehicles transmission and clutch. There is no reason to not leverage the benefits of the transmission. The transmission does not know what's connected. AC, DC, ICE, or Hamsters
I'm here to learn. I'm young. I have no experience with EVs. I was asking for parts. I know that I need to learn more. I don't expect to just build this thing.Knowledge

Seriously, if you are going to do this and make a "Real" race car, you should get a good (EV ?) race engineer on board before you waste a lot of time and money.
So if I'm understanding this right, faster discharging packs are cheaper per kW/BHP but more expensive per kWh.I just quoted a large pack made from our team supplier's lowest cost "energy" Pouch cells rated at 30C continuous.
30C Line Up
10kWH would be $9,000 (450BHP) 3 boxes
20kWh would be $18,000 (900BHP) 6 boxes
30kWh would be $27,000 (1350BHP) 9 boxes
or about $900/kWH and $20/BHP
100C
Just for comparison a drag racing pack of my 6S 4.5Ahr 100C cells
$150 each 6PX15modules = $13,500
Boxes $2,250
Total $16,000
90X6X3.7X4.5=8.9kWh
250VX100*6*4.5=675kW or 905BHP
or about $1800/kWH but only $17/BHP
but, these obviously weigh half as much and are half the volume.
Fill in your pack requirements, multiply it out and see if that's in your budget.....
