Is your A/C compressor the 12v kind? My conversion is in need of one.

It is, but this has been a popular item, and has already gone..

That seems to match this data as tested at Tritium with my motor.



This was done at 320v.

Yeah it seems like it has been a lifetime since I have done anything on my car. Had a quick look at your motor inverter, WoW that thing looks good!, do you have a datasheet for it?

Hi Geerant! I am most interested in your motor - the Evo AFM. Are you running the 750 V max version or the 450 V version? What is the useful voltage range that they operate in? Cheers, CHRIS I am running the 4 turn version of the motor with a lower top speed and higher torque. I will be using 125 L...

I imagine the house insurance company might have fought that one, unless you let them know about the extra insurable items before they were lost. I managed to convince EvWorks to refund the batteries for th...

I managed to get the exact same model as last time which will be convienient - 2002 Mitsubishi Magna Commonwealth Games LM Edition, burgundy colour. I have all the parts from last time minus the batteries, but as i ...

Due to the Brisbane Floods recently the donor chassis was destroyed and the electric car project put on hold for the time being. If anyone is interested in some 100Ah LiFePO4 Thundersky Batteries let me know as I have some that I wont be needing for some time.

I guess that's pretty much guaranteed if you have a good budget as you seem to have Actually it was never meant to be such a large budget.. I guess things got a little out of hand when I kept finding better parts (Mostly the motor http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley2.gif ) I'm curious about th...

Well thats the details of the whole conversion. Some of the posts are still being updated, but they will be completed in due course (Please be patient as some posts will be changed, reworded) . Feel free to comment about it, give tips, or even point out where I might be going wrong. I am open to any...
