Electric Aveo - EV (144v / 1000 Amps = 193 horsepower and massive torque!)

My only questions is how many batteries, what wattage are they, and what's your range. Also, your tach doesn't work

And Rabbit. HP doesn't matter with electric cars and electric motors. It's all about the torque ratings since all the torque is available from 0 through the rest of the RPM band. It makes for.... interesting 0-60 times, and a requirement of knowing how to deal with torquesteer. On the other-hand, it's safe to say that this EV Aveo is officially a hot hatch. LOL. Electric cars don't idle, the motor comes to a complete stop... From MY research anyways. There may be an exception. With that set up, I would think he'd have it programmed to idle so as to keep the accessories working.

..... I've dabbled in research of EV's a bit....

that's exacly right... I kept the idle to keep the accessories going... it's a pain the ass sometimes to keep taping the accelerator to have AC and P/S.

I wanted to add an electric power steering and AC, so I wouldn't need to idle... but convincing the wife I need 1500 dollars to do this did not work out... LOL... so I had to work with what I had.

ops.. guys, I am sorry, I am new to this forum... so I thought I was adding a "quick reply" to the questions and all ended up at the bottom... LOL..

I didn't have the heat from the engine, so I added an electric heater on top of the heater core... it was very painfull to remove it.. OMG!!! so I test it over and over again to make sure it would work fine, so I don't have to remove it EVER AGAIN.. LOL

This is the dash out and what the electric heater core on top of the OEM heater core.
