NiMH Hybrid Batteries in an EV Conversion?
by Arthur Kinney
I am converting a 1999 Ford Probe into an electric car. I have found really really cheap 7.2v NIMH battery modules used in the Toyota Prius. My question is how many modules would I need to run conversion at highway speeds on commutes of under 20miles? Hi, Arthur - Allen Antonucci from Duke's Garage says: "This question can only be answered after determining the amp hour rating of the batteries and the recomended voltage of the motor being used. Typically we use a 9in A/C motor which requires 108 volts minimum with around 20 KWH capacity. So around 15 of your batteries." Thanks, Allen! - Lynne Duke's Garage is an EV conversion shop in Westminster, CO that specializes in classic cars.
