EV Motor Sizing

by James A
(Villa Park, CA)




How do I go about determining the proper size of the electric motor for the weight of the car being converted to electric?

Hi, James -
Now, if you call up the EV parts suppliers, you don't have all that many choices. Chances they're going to sell you small, medium or large, and which flavor, AC, or DC?

If you were going that route, James dear, I suppose you'd be asking them your question.

But here you are, asking me, so I'll go out on a limb and guess you must be scavenging a motor from a forklift or something along those lines. Hm?

Excellent, a rebel. My kind of guy; )

Can you say a little more about the car you're planning to convert, and do you already have a motor donor in mind?

Regards,
Lynne
