Location | Madison, Wisconsin United States map | ||||
Vehicle | 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser | ||||
Motor | Daewoo 916100 Series Wound DC 11" Motor Manufactured by Daewoo for Caterpillar model's F&M50DSA Bought from seller forkliftmotors on E-bay. They also have a web site, WebPage Excellent service. | ||||
Drivetrain | Manual transmission | ||||
Controller | Kelly KDH12600 120V 600A WebPage Received from China, no problem. | ||||
Batteries | 0.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, Flooded Batteries will be my last purchase. Probably go with 6V US Battery or Trojan. I'm thinking 1000lbs. limit | ||||
System Voltage | 120 Volts | ||||
Charger | Manzanita Micro Haven't ordered yet. Don't want to try and save money by buying a cheap charger which could destroy good batteries. | ||||
DC/DC Converter | Planning to use 12v battery | ||||
Top Speed | 55 MPH (88 KPH) Seeing no need for interstate driving 55 mph should be great. | ||||
Acceleration | I'm a cab driver, come on! Give me torque and plenty of it! Think, White Zombie Seriously, acceleration should be better than most conversions because of my use of an 11" motor. | ||||
Range | 40 Miles (64 Kilometers) 40 is very optimistic plus I'm not good with math. 25 will work for me. Can 1000lbs. of batteries get me between 25-40mi. ? | ||||
Watt Hours/Mile | probably 300-400whr/mile | ||||
EV Miles |
| ||||
Curb Weight | 4,000 Pounds (1,818 Kilograms) ICE weight is around 3100 pounds with a cargo capacity of around 1000 pounds. I'll make it work. | ||||
I'm somewhat lazy so hopefully I can get this done. |
