After researching EV conversions that have been accomplished, there stands out two basic methods of conversion. That of adapting an existing electric power train from a repurposed or wrecked EV or building a power train system from off-the-shelf parts and open source type controllers.
Before any conversion begins, the initial requirements of the EV system need to be declared.
- Precise control of speed between 0 to 5 mph, no lurching, with ample torque under loads of 1200 lbs.
- Maximum of 20 miles capacity between charges with an ability to charge twice daily.
- Maximum speed of 30 mph.
