From left to right: Motor, Controller & Charger

Electric Mini

These pages are a semi-private space for me to record information about my electric car. I realise it may not make a lot of sense right now, I'm torn between actually doing stuff and making this site understandable without an accompanying 10 minute conversation to provide the background. Sorry. You can see my current progress (or lack thereof) on my blog. You might also be interested in some Famous Electric Cars.

Specs:

Controller Siemens Simovert Short
Motor Siemens 1LH5118
Battery 120 Thunder Sky LiFePo4 40Ah cells (well, as many as will fit)
Charger Manzanita Micro PFC-30
Battery Management System Tumanako EVD5
Gearbox 80's Mitsubishi, stripped down to a single speed, clutchless
Range Goal 100km
