old cars as ev's
Hi. I am just new to the forum. I am 4th generation in my family to fix up and modify old cars, and I too am working on building a big old EV. I have a freshly painted 60 fairlane 500 with no powertrain, that I felt would be a good canidate for this project. I have done a fair bit of research over the past year and have realized it is possible to move a car this big down the freeway. Expensive, but possible. just a few quick notes on what I plan to use for main components: 144v system, adc dc fb1-4001 motor, 5 speed trans from either s-10 or ranger, curtis 1231c-8601 motor controller, 24 6v deep cycle batteries. My estimated total weight is 4800 lbs. Heavy but it will be a educational experience if nothing else.
