I've looked high and low - I can't seem to find it.
Please keep in mind - this is still a pipe dream for me!
Preliminary goals for an EV that would fit my use are set to something like 50MPH (80km/h) steady, 55-60 peak (85-95km/h) with approx 50mile (80km) range.
What would I have to do/spend/build/kiss the backside of to make this happen in a ~1500lb car?
Some points to consider:
I'm going to be in need of a reversible engine, to save some weight and parasitic drag in the transmission, I'll be removing unnecessary gears.
I won't need vacuum assisted brakes, so no vacuum pumps for me. Heat will most likely be handled without the need for power from the vehicle as well.
I expect the vehicle to be mostly barren, but it will have an OEM CD/stereo setup with 4 speakers.
2 seats, b/c it's a CR-X. (1986 Si model.)
I will change all the lights to LED arrays. (Lowest energy solution for the headlights?)
Aero optimization will be considered as well.
I'm just looking at a cost vs. effect ratio here... I want to know what it's going to take, and if I'm thinking a little too far outside my limits for the project.
