Electric Car Motor Availability and Cost
by Don Spring
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.
