That is part of why I ignored them all together, that they are not efficient or practical, in my mind you would be better off getting an inverter if you wanted to run an ac motor but I can't think of any variable speed ac motors off the top of my head, other then blenders, but those are just weird.
I think this project needs to be re-thought, also someone who doesn't understand electricity working with 120 volts dc makes me a bit uncomfortable, people being killed by home built electric vehicles is not something I want to hear about.
