3) a CVT transmission to keep the motor at most efficient RPM (possibly with a simple Amp limiter-no details on the page)
I don't have a copy of the plans yet(I plead Extreme Poverty at the moment) but i'm really curious on what effect a current CVT (either mechanical or electronic controlled) would have on a light EV... |
From looking at whats posted across the web, I would not even consider purchasing the plans. Everyone said the chasis was too weak looking and it's basically nothing more than an electric golf cart with add ons!
Modding a small car will be a lot more interesting than trying to completely build one
