Motor | LEMCO LMC 200 127 Permanent Magnet DC Lynch LEMCO LMC will be operated at 72V (controller programmed at 66% speed when pedal is fully pressed to test at rated speed 48V). Currently planning DIY 2x2 motor in tandem. | ||||||||
Drivetrain | Original 4 speed transmission, rear wheel drive. Retaining the clutch. | ||||||||
Controller | Alltrax SPM72400 New Alltrax range looks good. evdrives.com | ||||||||
Batteries | 24 Thunder Sky Sinopoly SP-LFP60AHA-S2 , 80.00 Volt, Lithium Iron Phosphate 24x60Ah Sinopoly (only 34mm thick)to start with. Intending to upgrade by adding another 24x60Ah in parallel. | ||||||||
System Voltage | 72 Volts | ||||||||
Charger | Sinopoly Matching Charger with batteries directly from the battery manufacturer.Can adjust voltage and current; quite convenient. | ||||||||
Heater | None projected | ||||||||
DC/DC Converter | Sevcon 622/11202 72V to 13.5V 300W evdrives.com Will keep the accessories battery and use the DC-DC as a charger. | ||||||||
Instrumentation | Volt meter - battery voltage Volt meter - motor voltage Ah meter + current(JLD404) Motor temperature meter. | ||||||||
Top Speed | 56 MPH (90 KPH) exceeding 90kph on 4th gear | ||||||||
Acceleration | 0-69kph in 13.9s better than ICE.. ON I.C.E. it is 0-60(kph) 17 seconds on flat surface 11.5 seconds downhill 24 seconds uphill | ||||||||
Range | 30 Miles (48 Kilometers) (estimate 60Ah x 3.2V x 24 @80% DOD / 160Wh/mile = 23 miles | ||||||||
Watt Hours/Mile | 155 Wh/Mile Consuming 180 - 200Wh/mile (energy from the socket outlet). Measuring roughly 160Wh/mile actual consumption. Driving is city traffic start and stop almost all the time. | ||||||||

Conversion Time | Two months finding the donor car. One year planning, finding the right/cheapest parts. About three months part time physical work. | ||||||||
Additional Features | Separate regen. controller to be designed as a degree project by my friend. Or an additional Kelly controller to be used only during braking for regeneration. (Just an idea for the moment). | ||||||||
2010 Project to be started soon. Since now donor car has been obtained, prepared for VRT etc. Currently on the road as a normal ICE vehicle. 8/2011 Motor obtained 26/9/2011 Ordered components from evdrives.com 30/9/2011 Received components from evdrives.com 1/10/2011 Ordered batteries + BMS + charger from Sinopoly 12/10/2011 Started machining of Motor to transmission parts. 11/2011 Receiving various parts from E-bay (Meters, LEDs, DC DC isolators, power supplies) 19/11/2011 Removed the engine Nov-Dec/2011 Manufactured frame to mount components, wiring awaiting for the adapter plate to be completed and batteries to arrive... 30/12/2011 Assembled adapter plate, flywheel etc. with motor. 6/1/2011 Received Sinopoly batteries. 8/1/2011 First trial runs on the road. summer 2012 - planning 2 x 2 motor upgrades.
