am i right to think its the batteries that are holding production back? electric motors are great but you need an onboard power source, what is there? hydrogen power packs?
@ProtocolsMaster I find that placing as much weight as possible in the front helps, try to keep the batteries low if possible. I haven't had any handling problems with a conversion, actually they seem to handle & brake better. The '99 Ranger I'm in process of building is getting 64 300AH LifePO4 batteries @ 200vlts this is near 1200lbs & a set of heavy duty shocks is all the suspension mods needed.. hope this helps.
@CribsnRides I have been doing my research on this specification you gave me, helps alot. i was considering lead acid for its 225ah capacity but i dug deeper versus lifepo4, lithiunm and lead acid. thanks a bunch. one final question, what about weight? my car weight 3240LBS and maybe a 1000LBS less without the engine and components. what mayor factor will the weight play. thanks a lot
@ProtocolsMaster My recommend would be Netgain 11"HV motor, Evnetics Soliton1 1000amp controller, HiPower 200ah LifePO4 batteries at 196volts! Do NOT use lead batteries - if cost is too much then go with 120volts of 60ah LifePO4 - consider this a 6vlt 100ah lead battery weighs 68lbs costs $235 each or $4700 for 120vlts/1360lbs that will take you maybe 20mpc }o{ a 3.4vlt 60ah LifePO4 battery weighs 5.2lbs costs $75 each or $3000 120vlts/200lbs & will take you 65mpc
hi, Im looking to sacrifice my 2004 ford escape to a battery conversion what do you recomend 120V, 220V, is it going to be too heavy? any recommendation is useful
