faraday law, and ohms law are the two i use the most when it comes to power generation.

and I would like to see those plans that you got to put my mind to them. are they in a PDF or can you make a PDF of them?

also for your first EV I would go with a small pick up. like a S10 or dakota. its light with plenty of room in the back to work, cheap on craigs list for a donor car.

room for generation in the front
battery bank in the back
rear wheel drive is easier to mount a motor on
live axel in the rear so easy to change gearing


or

mount the motor to the tranny in the front.
battery bank in the rear
generation in the rear against the cab
this way you can still use the gearing of the tranny and change the rear end.

these are just things i think about. I have always wanted to make a drag car EV. just for fun... I would then like to run it in my race team against my 440ci dodge satellite in a gudge match
