I started with the AC24, and now have an 80kw BLDC motor and
controller. Lots of pep, handles San Diego freeway traffic with no
problem. Now I need to upgrade my batteries to provide the current that
the controller likes. :)

Subject: [EVDL] AC or DC? : EV Conversion advice
I am hoping others who have experience with AC EV designs will weigh in here.
DC is all that was available back when I had my conversion made.
I know I would want the advantages of Today's AC drive systems.
The evalbum.com listings have so many uses, one of which is they are
searchable either via a search engine or from that website. I found several
listings that used an AC system:

You can look at these to know what system voltage, pack, motor and
controller they used for what range, and performance.
Several EV component AC sources come up when searching using

or
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=electric+car+ac+motor+controller
As far as what you can get for your DC EV components ... A lot of patients
when trying to sell them to get only some of your money back. That's is
another reason (things change over time) for not buying your EV components
until you actually ready to begin your conversion

A few years ago I decided to convert my '98 VW Cabrio to electric. At
the time,
a Warp 9 motor and Zilla 1K controller seemed to make a lot of sense, and
are
probably one of the best combinations today for a DC conversion.
Since I've now put 90k miles on the car as an ICE (after buying it
cheaply
because the previous owner thought it needed an engine) and a few years
have
gone by, I'm wondering if a DC conversion still makes sense.
I know Curtis makes an AC kit that's designed for similar applications as
the 9
inch DC motors. Any opinions on it, or other AC options?
Any idea of the resale value of an unused Zilla 1K LV and Warp 9 motor?
At least lithium batteries are a lot cheaper than when I first thought
about doing this!
