Luciano and I could throw a EV together in a jiffy that would knock the socks off (or rather the tires) a Tesla, or any other EV out there for that matter.

Tesla is pretty much a government company anyways, so I wouldn't count on them to come out with anything special or worthwhile anytime soon.

I am not surprised that Tesla is blocking your posts Luc...

I haven't heard anything about Shelby SuperCars on their Ultimate Aero EV (1000hp)... they said production starts in end of '09, but I don't see anything even mentioning anything about it for the last year now.


Luc, are any of those motor/trans packages made with brushless DC? One of them kind of looks like they are, the twin motor unit?

What would we be able to do with $500+ million green ones? Funny thing about the SSC Aero EV is that I sent Jarold an e-mail and a few weeks later I went to the site and saw that EV post. Jerold doesn't have a clue of where to go to get such technology.

All the stuff I posted are brushless zero and would make a nice set up for any vehicle. The twin motor unit is a bit on the heavy side, but it produces tons of torque. Want to see the 750HP motor (A more powerful motor can be made, the 750HP motor only runs on around 310 volts) and 1700HP nveter unit? Please look at the attached file folks. (Darn file is too big)
