Maybe there is another source of supply for sep-ex motors and controllers. PSA Peugeot Citroen claims to be the world's leading producer of on-road EV, with more than 9,000 units manufactured. They use various sizes of Leroy-Somer DC motors and controllers. For example, the SA-18 has a nominal rating of 20 kW, 33 kW peak, 210 Nm torque, 162 volt, 6500 rpm. Given the strong interest on the EVDL in sep-ex, it may be profitable for the EV parts vendors to import and offer motors and controllers from Leroy-Somer in France.
