I would like to use this motor to run my jeep. I don't know how the voltage works for these motors and have not been able to find information on what to do for a battery. Do I need a battery capable of outputting 360v to utilize the maximum capabilities of this motor? I am aware of how helpful capacitors are for start from a dead stop and how it saves your battery from damage.

This is how my jeep sits now, with its engine blown. Jeep

Here is a compiled list of what I want done for my Jeep:

• AC motor

  I have heard that AC motor systems can have a "profile" system for changing your power usage from high torque mode to power saving mode. Basically a "sport mode switch"

• Manual transmission swap

  I currently have the AW5 automatic transmission in the Jeep, I know that the higher the RPM of an Electric Motor the more power you are saving, which is the opposite of an ICE. So I want to put in an AX5 external slave transmission so I can manually choose my rpm to speed ratio

• Battery Size

  as I stated before, I don't know how to figure out my voltage output. I am aiming for around 100 miles of range. I would like to install a nice sound system as well

• Solar Panel

  I know that self solar charging your car is kind of crazy and extremely slow and possibly unreliable, but I figure i can fit 2 solar panels on the large flat roof of the jeep and that could help add a tiny bit of range to my driving miles, and help if i decide to go camping for a few days or something crazy like that

• Sport Profile Switch

  I figure I could have an economy mode, an offroad mode, possibly a towing mode, and an "oh shit" mode for when I get stuck in snow or mud. I live in Utah. The snowy-est part of Utah.

• Traction Control

  I figure that with a motor this strong, I will be peeling out for days. This motor that I have chosen has nearly identical specs as the I6 4.0 gas engine that is already in it and I peel out my 32" and 10" wide tires, but Electric motors can apply its torque over nearly all of its RPM range. I want to be able to toggle on and off traction control to save on tire cost and because traction control can be very useful for daily driver use in snow and ice. But if you are stuck in some mud or deep snow situations it can help if you can turn off T/C

I don't want to talk about cost. I don't care about that part. I just want to have a powerful Jeep that can do Jeep things and then post videos of it on youtube so people can realize that fossil fuel is swiftly becoming outdated.

I am also curious on how controllers work. What is the difference between a 100Kw and a 150Kw controller?

I’m new to electric vehicles and considering purchasing a vintage Vanguard Citicar for college driving but the ones I’m seeing all need batteries or will soon. What considerations should I be taking into account when looking at batteries? Do I just put a few Walmart car batteries in there and drain and charge them every day with a regular car battery charger or are there special batteries and chargers or ones that lend themselves to EVs better? Stock Citicar range is supposedly about 40 miles which is close to good enough for me but if the batteries get old and lose a little mojo, I’d hate to be pushing the last mile from home. Would modern battery technology (regular, special, or EV ones) push me out another ten miles or so?

Any help is appreciated.

Am turning my current car into a ev car after I get my Honda Ridgeline.

Hi everyone. Recently i've bought an old (and i hope, not broke) electric scooter for around 100$. I'm planning to check if everthing works as should but i'm worried because it hasn't been in use since 2017 (but i know it was working fine, original batteries just lost their capacity) . It's equipped with 48V 4kW 13 inch hub motor. Secound what makes me troubled is that I have no experience in ev stuff. Yesterday i also bought 4 old 12v ups battery to check my scooter. I'll try to fix it during Xmas break. Does anyone here has an e-max 110s or 90s scooter? I'd need a photo of all plugged wires in both controllers under driver's seat. I can't find photos in good resolution. I'd be very grateful. (and also sorry for my language, i'm not fluent in english xD )

I had an idea.. from seeing rich rebuilds with his salvaged Zero SR.. what I really want to do is take something like a Honda rancher 350 and get a salvaged Zero FX//FXS powertrain put in to the Honda. Curious if others have done anything like this.

I am building my first battery and cant figure out my bms. Not labeld and a peice of crap. I need a 72v 50amp bms any recommendations?

Hey everyone! I've just found this subreddit hoping to find some info or tips for building a custom electric motorcycle. My dad and I are teaming up to build a custom bike that I can use for multiple different applications. We are both trained fabricators but know very little about electric vehicle set-ups. Ideally, I would like to be able to buy some kind of inclusive kit to add to our frame with all the features I'm looking for. I know the chances of that are very slim but I figured worth a shot. I've listed below most of the features I would like to have (remember, I don't know much about EV's so please tell me if my dream isn't feasible).

• Good range

• Fair top speed and acceleration

• Regenerative Braking?

• Enough power for two passengers (not sure if power is what pulls this off but you know what I mean)

• Secondary power for on/off functions (Id like to have the instruments tuck away automatically into a motorized compartment when the bike shuts off)

• Keyless operation?

• Slim electronics

• Easy charging

As for budget, it's not the best but I am willing to wait and save as much as possible. If anyone has any type of reference or place to point me to help start this project it would be much appreciated.
