Today I completed my new fangled battery monitoring system. No pictures yet, but maybe I will do a video tomorrow. I am very happy with the end results - it works pretty slick.
I went for another rip around the block today. This time I got it up to a higher speed, and wow...this motor has a LOT more torque than the old motor. It also seems to maintain the torque up to the same RPM as the old motor, which is weird. I thought it would be torquier but slower. A welcome surprise.
I am very interested to see how the car's efficiency will change. I suspect it should get better, since I am now controlling a proper motor for my controller. Once I start commuting I will know for sure.
