I've started a project to convert a 1986 Honda VF500 to a battery electric vehicle. I'm documenting the project on blogger:
http://voltagefueled.blogspot.com My performance targets are:
- >60mph top speed
- >= 40mile range
The current components I'm considering using include:
- 72V, 60Ah, 22battery Thundersky LiFePO4 pack
- E-tek R 19pk horsepower motor
- Alltrax AXE 7234 motor controller
- Zivan NG-1 Charger
- Battery Management System, still looking at various options
I've also purchased two 30 watt solar panels to deploy when parked to add a bit of range. Figuring out the charge controller scheme to charge this pack with the solar panels isn't very straightforward though.
