Electric Car Conversion with Home Made Controller 92 Eagle Talon EV

This is a demonstration of my 92 Eagle converted to electric. It is 96 volt with a 10" fork lift motor and a 600 amp home made controller.. The whole thing cost less than $1500.

Excellent Job! I really like the coolant pump! I hope that was made of parts you already had for free, otherwise i question your choice of ac inverter. Watercooling is great. But Why did you go to a GAS  station!

@copertop , Yes I had all the parts, also I planned to use the inverter for some 12V isolated power supplies, but didn't. But you are right, I will use a 12V car fuel pump next time.. As for the gas station, my car doesn't use gas, but I needed to fill up on caffeine!

Just wondering what kind of electric motor you used in your car?

[baboracus]

you're the man! is it daily driver? if so, how much do you save in gas?

Question! i have a factory inverter a altivar, series, as my drive is a a/c unit for a three phase motor. i allso use a 1200 watt inverter, to power the vfd. i use a step up transformer to get the 220 needed to drive it. i am useing it on a citi car differential. that had a d/c motor. but the weight of all the d/c stuff is a factor that needs to be looked at, while the a/c system is lighter. smaller wires, ect. Would it not be a good idea just to run 12v and then electronicly step it up.

Because at the schematic says to use 12 capacitors of 4700uF and the video only uses 3 and how much they are?

which is the number of the diodes and musfets the you are using?

Nice setup there , i already see you go 50 mph , that's ok , but what's the range ? how much can you go on one recharge ?

I, too, am looking for reference material in order to build my own controller. How did you figure how to build it?

Create many, test, sell, profit :)

Good for you! How long did it take you, and what did you use for a reference?

i admire your enthusiasm!
