Mild Hybrid - DIY EV Conversion Motor?
Hello,
I've been reading for some time, but this is my first post. I really enjoy this creative community!
I was reading random things on the internet when the thought came to me that the motor/generator from a mild hybrid like the Ram eTorque could be used for a DIY EV motorcycle or light vehicle.
A CNET (ref. "2020-ram-1500-laramie-4x4-crew-cab-5-7-box-review") article indicated that the system adds 16 hp and 130 lb-ft of torque. The system only uses 48v, so DIY friendly (not hundreds).
Has anyone else had this thought? Does anyone know if there are already threads on this?
BTW, I'm a ME, not EE or Programmer, so I don't know about the details about how to make it work, once connected.
I would love to hear what others think.
