Hi!
Im trying to acquire as much information as I can before undertaking My electric car conversion, and what I value above any other parameters Is acceleration for this project. Ideally, it would be between 3-4 seconds to get from 0-60 Mph.
How important is a motor in terms of acceleration? If I can supply high current and voltage up to my desired top speed, Are most forklift drive motors going to give me similar acceleration when compared to something like a Warp-9, or other 'high end" EV conversion motor?
For acceleration, If my motor isn't able to get up to 4k RPM but can generate significant torque, Will it still be able to get to good top speeds? (given sufficient current to maintain torque) As far as I know, in ICE cars most motors never go to such high RPMs but can still go fast, but I might be wrong.
Is the most critical component for EV acceleration the battery/supplying power?
Basically, my question is if all of my components were good but not excellent, What would generally be the best thing to upgrade to be able to accelerate faster?
Thanks!
