So I was watching EVTV and HPEVS is now in production with their siamesed AC-35 motor, basically two motors end to end in one case, only 21 inches long and 150 pounds.
This motor should put out about 180HP and 200 ft-lbs, so I think it could make a nice 818, it comes with dual Curtiss 500 Amp 144 Volt controllers for $9500. 50 CALB CA 100 Ah cells, and an adapter plate, and you are good to go.
I like the idea of a lighter weight Electric 818. This would be a 375 pound battery pack and 150 pound motor. Probably 545 pounds total.
Losing the ICE components like engine, exhaust system, turbo, radiator may save, what? 340 pounds?
A 200 pound weight gain isn't too bad in the electric car world.
I like the regenerative action of the AC motor too.
