My projet is a 3 phased 4 pole induction motor and I choose ac for efficiency as my goal is ~120 km range (i rarely travel more than 60 km per day).
I am designing the controller while I investigate my batteries options.
My motor is already choosen and cost ~1600$


The donor car has a .30 drag coefficient, but by lowering it and adding michelin low rolling resistance is should help. Interesting is the fact there is no external door handle on this car model, less work . The floor will be removed from the firewall to the rear bumper and rebuilt with batteries in mind, and be as flat as possible.
