Audi A2 EV conversion part 5

We get the motor in finally. Without blowing any electronics, which is always a bonus. And it's still raining.

why didnt you mount the motor horizontal

(lower and motor toward the front)? then

mount batteries or control module above

motor. It looks like there's room for it plus

lower c/g.

[audia2ev]

the Azure differential comes in two sorts - one is horizontal mount. Yes it would be possible but the motor itself would be lower. In retrospect possible but not sure it gives a major advantage re CoG. POssibly it would have been more complex to arrange the engine mount points. Anyway batteries mean CoG of car is much lower than original I am sure.

nice work....where did the inspiration come from?

[audia2ev]

For DIY EVs: off all the great work you can see on the web; for the A2 - discussing with a friend and then looking at the car, just great for it.

That motor seems small. Can it power your car OK.
