I'm really enjoying these videos. I plan on taking your 3 day coarse, if not this year, maybe next year. Last year I bought a 1991 Yugo that was converted to electric. Pretty basic set-up, Netgain Warp 9 motor, 12 lead acid batteries (96V system) and basic controller (Paul & Sabrina's 144V 500amp). Want to bring it up to the next level, mainly replacing the lead acid batteries. It drives fine, but like to have some basis knowledge of EV conversions before I start tinkering around.

Hi .. I want to convert my suv car (automatic transmission) to ev .. what's the best motor to get instead of the existing 105 Hp gasoline motor to get the same performance?! Is it ok if I use the same automatic transmission ( as it's ) for the new motor?! If I used 20kW motor does this mean I must use a 20kW battery pack?! Thank you

The big thing I see again and again that I don't understand is why do most of the conversions use the transmission still. When almost no electric Manufactured cars use a transmission. I have seen multiple clutch problems even though it is a part that really isn't needed. I found Tesla originally used a 2 speed but replaced them with a single speed due to reliability issues.

Why don't you make your motors by yourself? The same with the controllers? This is not rocket science. If I had to do a conversion I would develop a suitable motor for the particular car, like in the case of internal combustion cars. And it is much easier to make an electric motor compared to an ICE. I would personally avoid any loss I could get rid off. So I would go with a core less 3-phase axial flux synchronous motor to avoid core losses at all. I have made some of these motors for RC models and they are easy to calculate, to design, to manufacture und to integrate into a system. As controller I would use an ESC from the RC model world in combination with a high power output stage for higher voltages, probably based on IGBTs as power switches.
