Hello Piotrsko !
Not sure if your post was replying to mine, but I think it could be the case
because I suppose that 25 KW can seem to be a very low value for an electric car
The fact is that I would like to perform a first car retrofit, at an as lower cost as possible, then evaluate the solution and see what I should adapt in a second time. A speed of permanent 60 MPH should be enough for my purpose. For the battery I think to target around 15 to 20 KWH, depending on the cost of the different other components (The cost is a key factor for me here)
I calculated that with a 25 KW motor, I could move a medium sized car at this speed (60 MPH). I give you here some estimation that I calculated... Maybe someone can have an opinion about these numbers.
