The conversion looks very well thought through! Range aside, however, does the DC motor and controller match the 240 horsepower or the 0-60 it had stock? Having driven a '99 and an '04 S2k I have always been impressed by these cars.

Awesome EV conversion. The S2000 seems like a great car for an EV. I'm planning to convert an RX-7 sometime, I have an FC with a V8 (what a mistake that was!), and an FB that will probably get the EV conversion. I'm about to look through your other vids and find your blog.

looks like it doesn't have the acceleration of a standard gas powered engine.... I cant live without speed, its a necessity.

This is an amazing car you've got there sir. If you don't me asking, how do you like it? Pros and cons? Cost?

There is a guy with one of these that can outdrag most high performance petrol cars such as Bmw m3's Pontiac Gto's etc he tops out about 160 mph in a 1/4 mile range at about 7 seconds
I love the car. I've actually had it apart for the last few months adding a few things I skipped the first go (like AC, Heater) and I'm really missing it. I'm also cranking up the power on it this time too with some controller modifications.
I think the pros of an electric car are obvious, the cons on a DIY like this is you won't get everything perfect the first time so expect to redo a few things. Cost? Not cheap at all. For most, waiting for production versions with warranty s the best.

How many Km will the motor last ?
fpvshitsonhsv 2 years ago
From what I've read and been told these motors will easily outl last the car and will be moved to the next conversion later.
The brushes need to be replaced every 80,000 miles (roughly 130,000km). Other than that you're probably looking at 1 million miles or something crazy.

a few questions. power steering? air conditioning? range? voltage and pack configuration? how about top speed?

Everything I know so far is in the blog, but... Power steering is electric assist. Air conditioning isn't installed yet but coming later. I haven't test range or top speed yet but hope too soon after I finish my cell balancers. The pack is 144v lithium 160Ah.
