  • @bgdwiepp
    @bgdwiepp 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The transaxle has another reduction stage before the wheels, so while the transmissions 4th gear may be 1:1 the differential/final drive is likely 3~4:1

    i have a 2006 dodge Dakota with a blown up 4.7l v8 and a factory 6 speed manual ive gone back and fourth about what to do with it and i think an electric swap would be bad ass little truck like that with 4x4 and electric would be awesome

  • @MsNickie1001
    @MsNickie1001 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love this bus. It’s actually originally named a station wagon by Volkswagen. The fact that it’s an EV is awesome. If I ever blow the engine in my Prius, I want to make it an EV, too.
    Jehu, I hope you get rich building EVs, give Tesla a run for its money.

    • @bobtroyhill1782
      @bobtroyhill1782 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have a 1955 dodge Sierra station wagon. Would this be a good candidate to convert to electric? It doesn’t have an engine or transmission.

  • @ericblenner-hassett3945
    @ericblenner-hassett3945 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Around 4 minuit mark. Both mounting options would work, if you DO go 1 per wheel, don't forget a U joint at the motor side as well. It would let the swing arms bounce more as well as allow side by side mounting of the motors.

    Direct drive, one motor per wheel. Less to break, and one wheel slipping isn't a problem.
    The only concern is what the controllers need to do during cornering.

    Are you going to be in NYC next weekend 10/23 & 10/24/21? I'd love to chat about my Ghia project and whether you think it would be wise to go with hub motors in order to have 4 WD as the Aptera does. My thought is that it might leave more space in the car. Also, can I DIY a battery pack from recycled batteries from your channel? I'd like to see that if it is possible. Maybe I'll catch you on another Friday night live stream.

  • @jamest.5001
    @jamest.5001 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The motor per wheel direct drive will not work, the 4th gear thing, you forgot about the ring gear, it is just a guess around 4:1-4.56:1
    If you have the tq, I'd put something like a Subaru diff/rear axel, connect the motors to it, but I'd use the front trans axel, so you still have gears, there isn't that much loss, and possibly a 6 speed trans, allows for low rpm top speed, higher top speed, and low gear for steep hills. Or maybe a Nissan leaf gear box?

But sucks fuel like crazy. I would love your input. Or even the design to remove inboard engines and install electric.

    Jehu the calculations for an electric AC motor HP is 745.7 watts per horse power.
    So if your motor is designed at 180 kw maximum you are talking about 241.39 HP motor if you input all that energy in to it.
