AC-EV Is for people that are interested in, own or are building an Electric Vehicle in which has an Alternating Current motor and controller that operates from Direct Current, either by battery or ultracapacitors, to in-turn power the vehicle’s traction three phase A/C motor.

Just as shown in this picture, the British Lighting Car, is one of the world's most advanced EV cars using four 120Kw wheel motors, a Nano Safe 36Kw lithium battery and an advanced fully redundant controller system.

This is the group that perfects such A/C controllers, traction motors and energy storage systems for vehicles. A complete data base of drawings, repair information and photos are all here. Smart industry minds pertaining to Electric Vehicles and how they will evolve into the great transportation devices of the future all communicate here.

A/C controllers made by A/C Propulsion, Azure Dynamics, Brusa or Evisol to name a few, are usually matched with their motors to work as a system. These drive systems are found in the higher end vehicles like Tesla, Toyota Rav4, Ford Ranger EV, Chevrolet Volt and many other Electric Vehicles. And are powered by Lithium, LiFePO4, NiMH, Lead Acid batteries or the new EEstor storage capacitors.

This group explores how these systems work and how they can be improved to power all motor vehicles of the future. This exciting technology is used in either a pure Electric Vehicle, as a hybrid or plug-in hybrid. Currently, A/C three phase motors are the most efficient way to propel a motor vehicle, they surpass DC motor technology, we address that here.

Lets all explore together, in an open format, how we can better the world by improving on these types of energy storage devices, controllers and motors…
