Building an EV with a 3-phase AC Induction Motor

by Gil Dias
(Pretoria South-Africa)


I want to build an electric car and want to install a 3 phase motor. What size motor must I use? What do I need to build such car? Car weight is 800kg (1764 lbs).



Hi, Gil -
Your car is light enough for a smaller motor, like the Azure Dynamics/Solectria AC24. It's 9.6 inches in diameter, and about 85 lbs.

You'll need a list of supplies for your EV conversion. You can find a conversion kit that will provide most, if not all, of the materials you'll need - except batteries. Those are always extra; )

Regards,
Lynne
