How to convert a gasoline powered vehicle to all electric. Sorry, 0-30 MPH, as electric motors generate the most torque at 0 RPM. He can accelerate quickly from stops but 0-30 takes much less time than 30-50 MPH. My limited understanding is that the lead-acid batteries do not handle large current drains as well as Lithium batteries. And from my limited understanding of batteries in series (e.g., 16 x 6V batteries to get 96V), the last battery gets drained first and gets charged first, and as a consequence, wears out first. Is my thinking correct? |

How to convert a gasoline powered vehicle to all electric. Might be that LiFePO4 is right for a light car, as well. I've been talking to an EV enthusiast who says that lead acid golf-cart batteries will jump out of the gate from 0 to 30 but wimp out from 30 to cruising speed. |

How to convert a gasoline powered vehicle to all electric. When you say "really expensive" batteries, do you mean Lithium Ion batteries, golf-cart batteries, or something else? |
