Your post partially agrees and partially disagrees with a note I received from Abas Goodarzi:
“I am the one that took the analog design using dual motor from AeroVironment and made the single motor with digital control. AeroVironment hated my guts and Delco Remy and Delco Electronics technically reported to me. The man who lead the AeroVironment team was Walley Ripple and Alek Brooks, however Allen Cocconi tends to get credit for a lot, but Impact was brain child of Walley Ripple and I am proud to claim a lot on EV1, first mass production EV using IGBT and digital controller with integrated controller.” - Mark Sent from my Fuel Cell powered iPhone > On Jul 22, 2019, at 2:49 PM, Mark Abramowitz <[email protected]> wrote: > > More specific info straight from the horse’s mouth: > > “I was the design engineer for powertrain 12 hours a day, hard core > engineering, including doing the actual tests, since there was no spec > written yet.
