Good afternoon, I am currently doing a project at university looking into the feasibility of turning the current petrol formula student racecar into an EV. I have been researching different types of motors and it is becoming apparent that I need a BLDC or an AC induction motor.
The current petrol engine can produce 66Nm of torque at 11,000 RPM, my question is; if i have an electric motor of equal or greater torque will I still get the same performance as the petrol engine? Also, do I need a gearbox for electric motor or can it run on a single gear? Any help with this would be appreciated!
