why can't u use an automatic trans in your electric car??
why can't u use an electic motor that run on 120 v??

Hey, Robert!
1) You can. It's just that when you use the AT your gas-guzzler was born with, it's set for the ICE's requirements. Drop a series wound DC motor into a car with an automatic transmission, your range will be disappointing compared to the range you might expect from a manual transmission.

2) There are lots of electric cars with 120v systems. The NetGain WarP 9 works just fine!

Cheers,
Lynne
