Retour à EV Album > Chris Simon's 2001 Ford Focus

Véhicule2001 Ford Focus
The conversion began on March 29, 2008. I selected a car from the current Millennium since I plan to keep it a while and the Minnesota winters can be hard on vehicles. I chose a light weight vehicle that's been on Car and Driver's "10 Best" list several years. First electric drive on December 4, 2008.
FB1-4001A Series Wound DC
9 inch motor with auxiliary rear shaft
Transmission5-speed manual transaxle with clutch and a lightened flywheel.
1231C-8601
Large heatsink mounted on the bottom with 12V fan to keep it cool.
Batteries17 US Battery US8VGC, 8.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, Flooded
Total weight of batteries is around 1080 lbs.
Tension nominale136 Volts
ChargeurDelta-Q Technologies 72V
Power factor corrected switching charger that run on 110VAC or 220 VAC. I'm using two Delta-Q chargers, with one using the factory settings for 72V and the other using factory settings for 64V.
Chauffage1500 W solid state heater (more of a warmer, really) mounted in existing heater core area, driven off the pack voltage.
This is Minnesota so I also have a seat heater plugged into the cigarette lighter and automatic battery heaters that run on 110 VAC.
Iota DLS-110-55
Re-worked to increase reliability. (as Lee Hart has done on another Iota) At 55 Amperes it has plenty of power for everything I want to run.
InstrumentationInitially I have a Voltmeter and a 500A Ammeter that is switchable between battery and motor current.
Planning to someday build a microprocessor-based battery monitor that will monitor voltage of each battery, pack current, energy in, energy out, etc. It will drive a vacuum fluorescent graphical display that I'll mount on the dashboard.
Vitesse maximale70 MPH (112 KPH)
Tested it on the freeway up to 68 MPH before reaching my exit. It can go faster but this is certainly enough for me.
AccélérationA bit less acceleration than with the stock ICE. (But much better since I clamped the accelerator cable jacket properly:-)
Autonomie40 Miles (64 Kilometers)
My commute is 12 miles each way for a total of 24 miles. I don't charge at work. I belive that it's probably around 50% depth of disharge for that distance.
40 mile range is a sort of arbitrary number to maintain battery life.
Wh/Mile400 Wh/Mile
I get around 400 Wh/Mile for a trip that is 2/3 on city streets and 1/3 on the freeway. This is the energy as measured FROM THE OUTLET so it includes inefficiency of the chargers and the losses in the battery pack while charging. I hope that others adopt this same convention for reporting enrgy per mile.
