Electric Car Motor Availability and Cost

by Don Spring
(Bovina, Texas USA)




Can you give me some idea of the availability and the cost of the electric car motors?

Hi, Don -
The most available electric car motor is the series wound DC motor.

There are a couple of companies that make them particularly for electric cars; I just saw the ADC 9" motor a lot of people use listed for 1750 USD, and NetGain sells the WarP 9" for about the same through their dealers.

You can also find a suitable series wound DC motor in a used electric forklift; you'll have to make some minor adjustments on it to go into a car, but these are fine.

Another possibility is the 3-phase AC electric car motor, which is listed for 2,600 USD and is available through a few dealers like Electro Automotive and Metric Mind.

Regards,
Lynne
