I am new to the thread - just read through all of it today. (ReVolt was the past two days ... my eyes are fuzzy)

I'm a Controls Engineer with about 25 years experience in three phase motors and industrial automation. I wanted to see if DIY is practical for a high reliability, high voltage project. The ReVolt tells me that it is. I'm hoping that lurking around this thread will get my butt off the couch and out in the garage to work on my project.

I have not seen much for specs on this thread. I've seen hundreds of amps a few times and some discussions about 150V - 300V versus higher.

I'm looking for a controller that will give me 600 VAC (or about 950 VDC peak to peak) at about 30 seconds for acceleration to highway speed, dropping to 30A or approx 30 HP for cruising at 65 mph or 105 kph.

I'll cut the first post right there.
