EVVette - '71 Chevy Corvette Coupe

Its coming........

Not as good as I would like, but coming along. I have gotten some more work done of the frame, I have gotten the transmission all cleaned up and the bell housing painted. I was also able to fix the clutch linkage and the through out bearing lever.

Most of the work thats been done on the car so far is circuit design for the onboard systems and motor controller work.

I have been working on a new controller based on 600V 400A IGBT's. I am also now planing on upping the voltage to about 288 and i am now going with a warp 11HV instead of the regular 11. The only think I don't like about this is I have to use 90 - 100Ah cells instead of 45 - 200Ah cells. I am worried that i will overdraw the batteries 3C limit....

The biggest reason no work has happened is money. Nobody wants to buy the car parts I have for sale. There is about $4500 worth....Enough for the motor and to start on the batteries.
