Do seperately-excited (sepex) motors and controllers suitable for highway capable EVs exist? They are becoming common in golfcarts, NEVs, lift trucks, pallet trucks, etc. These motor-controller systems are too small for EVs and I'm not aware of any sepex system the right size for an EV.
Consider a typical modern golf cart. Its motor and controller provides regenerative braking and reversing without using contactors. Its controller automatically applies regen braking to limit speeds going down hill. I'd really like a sepex motor and controller in my next EV. Is that possible or am I just dreaming? Tom Shay
