EV Transmission, or CVT?
by Jim D
Is a transmission required on EVs? If so would a CVT from a snowmobile offer an advantage? Hi, Jim - No, you don't actually need a transmission for an EV. Usually, however, this means using a larger motor and controller, which costs money and weight. CVTs, continually variable transmissions, offer a perhaps cost effective alternative to the beefier motor and controller usually required in the transmission-less conversion. Read this excellent discussion in the EVDL for Lee Hart's breakdown on electric car transmissions and CVTs. CVTs seem to be a popular alternative to the controller on small EVs! Best of luck with your project, and keep us posted! Regards, Lynne |
