Prius Batteries in my EV project?by Ron Can I use my two 270v NiMH Prius batteries to power the EV I'm building with an AC 3 phase induction 10 hp 3500 rpm motor? Hi, Ron! First question I can answer: Don't. Your Prius batteries are not designed to deep cycle, they're high-power rather than high-energy, and won't appreciate the abuse. For the second question, let's ask Dan. He says: If you want highway speed you are going to need a larger motor than 10HP - up around 50 HP. You'll want to read "Build your own Electric Vehicle" before you get started on your project. You can use a VFD rated for 230 VAC line and connect battery direct to DC buss. This will require a DC voltage of 230 x 1.4 or about 300 - 320 VDC. - Dan Best of luck with your project, Ron! Regards, Lynne
