Hey guys, I've been into EV's ever since I got my electric bike working about a year ago, thanks in no small part to all of you. Since then I've been dreaming of an electric car conversion. Now, seemingly out of nowhere, my boss asked me to toss out an old motor in the basement of our building. I took a look at it, and surprise! It's actually a huge, powerful looking AC motor. At the same time, my brother offered me a decent donor that he was planning to scrap (Nissan Maxima). Seems like this is a sign to follow my dreams and take the plunge.
Anyways, would anyone here be able to look at these pics of the motor/faceplate and explain to me what I have on my hands? Is this thing powerful enough to run an average car? What would you suppose a top speed would be assuming I get good batteries/controller? Any general advice on making use of this? Thanks in advance for the help!
