EV Speed Testing

EV IS THE FUTURE !

all depends on the motor and controller. If you run 48v @ 200A it will be slow. If you run 300v @ 2000A it will be uber-quick. How much do you want to spend? :)

slow ass S**t , i thought electric cars have alot of torque?

It was pretty much using all the amps. I still am not sure if the ammeter I have is the right scale for the shunt or not. In regular driving, using a lower gear keeps amps lower. I have been pretty happy with third gear in this car.

You didn't happen to notice how many amps you were pulling in each gear? Sometimes fastest isn't the goodest or so I've been told ;-]

Yeah my conversion doesn't have a clutch either and I tried some tests today and 4th gear was the quickest 0-55kph!

It would be. This car doesn't have a clutch any more, and you do need the speed of the motor to be right to shift. It shifts fine, but not quickly. I don't think the throttle is adjusted right yet either. If I fix that, I expect some better acceleration as well.

Great videos! It would be interesting to see what time you could get using 2nd and upshifting to third.
