Jeep Wrangler Electric Project
« on: May 19, 2013, 11:37:47 PM »

I saw a 4x4 Center in my area is building a Jeep Wrangler Electric Project.

The comments are in German but I think the photos speak for themselves.

I hope to see this car in real, once!

"The 34 LiFeYPo4 batteries are here! 300Ah then give a reasonable range of max. around 160-180km. When properly charge are around 3000 charge cycles possible"

Those look like Thundersky (now SinoPoly, who uses black-colored batteries as branding) LiFePO4. Or possibly Winston, who manufactured batteries for TS as a subcontractor then apparently (?) started selling them under their own name. There were a bunch of people that used those for conversions 3-4 years ago and were very disappointed. I hope they've improved.

34 * 3.2V = 109V. 109V * 300Ah = 33 kWh.



"arrived today - the two water-cooled Curtis speed controller for the twin engine of our Jeep Wrangler ZE (electric). Each of these pushes 750A to his half of the double engine"

TS batteries had big problems with sag even at 2C discharge rates. At high RPM I don't think he'll be able to get close to 750A to both motors.



"Hello Baby : ) The E-Motor is here!"

In comments:
"180 kW and 850 Nm at least"

That's a beastly motor. 360 kW peak between both motors will be about a 10C discharge rate from the batteries. Winston claims 20C impulse for an unspecified length of time.
