How much are A/C motors and how much are the A/C speed controllers?
The A/C motors I've seen either are not sized for a car or are made in such small numbers that of course they are going to be priced high!
The D/C motors that are out there are made in huge numbers, NetGain motors are as cheap as they are because they are a special run of Warfield forklift motors, more or less the same motor but with nice output shafts and different brushes.
At one point in time Fiat, or maybe it was a company converting gliders to electric, were going to put a 3 phase forklift motor in the Fiat 500, we don't really have 3 phase electric forklifts here but when an automaker is realizing that they might be better off leaving some of the parts outsourced it really makes you wonder.
