Following up on the Electric Vehicle we will be building, I collected sample quotations and the budget would look something like this. Since we have been generously granted a sufficient budget through Atelier Vrijdag we have these two otpions either for remodelling the Subaru to a 144V EV System or building a smaller 72V system from scratch!
The 144V (30hp Continuous) Subaru conversion using 12v Batteries with a full drive system and battery system. We however would like to change this to an AC Induction motor since Regenerative Braking which is an important consideration for our EV.
The 72V (2-12hp) 'Vortex-like' NEV construction also using six 12v Batteries with full drive system and battery system. Have a look at the XP-HUMM-E to have an idea of what I have in mind.The 144V (30hp Continuous) Subaru conversion using 12v Batteries with a full drive system and battery system. We however would like to change this to an AC Induction motor since Regenerative Braking which is an important consideration for our EV.

I have a tough task ahead to source for the parts locally since the shipping may cost us half our budget. If you are in Kenya I would appreciate any information on the best deals in town. I will keep you posted...
