This one is risky but I'll try it and report how did it go.
Batteries45 Thunder Sky TS-LFP90AHA, 3.20 Volt,
LiFePO4
System Voltage144 Volts
Charger Custom - have not decided yet
Working on my BMS which will keep the batteries balanced and report their status to the dashboard if something would start going wrong.
HeaterLikely to make out of home heater like many people already did.
DC/DC ConverterKelly 144V/13.8V 25A
InstrumentationWill be integrated BMS/instrumentation microcontroller-based system. Will use PDA to have nice custom LCD screen in place of RPM meter showing RPM, bats, temperatures, etc. Would like to have graphics design to blend into car interior style.
It should also do a safety monitoring of main parameters and do emergency shutdown if something weird starts to happen.
Top Speed90 MPH (144 KPH)
Calculated estimate
Range40 Miles (64 Kilometers)
Estimate if taking 250Wh/mile
Watt Hours/Mile250 Wh/Mile
Preliminary estimate
Seating Capacity4 adults
Curb Weight2,500 Pounds (1,136 Kilograms)
Estimate as all components not yet stripped off and new ones not weighted
TiresR16 - will look for low RR later
Conversion Cost$12k estimated - will grow
Got the donor car with dead 1.6 liter ICE which was just imported from Spain and registered as normal petrol car. Nice one - no corrosion and minimal face-lift needed. Started stripping it off in friend's garage - professional car lift is really handy.
Kelly controller and DC/DC converter arrived.
Warp 9 motor ordered - should arrive in 1 month.
ThunderSky batteries ordered - past the point of no return.
Working on BMS/Instrumentation system - designing schematics and programming.
Metal works are waiting for motor to arrive.
Will order charger soon.
