http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/car/674424757.htmlAn 800A contactor and "Regen braking with down shifting" and
"remanufactured and modified jet fighter plane generator used as
motor" sounds like an EV made in the 70's that avoids using that same
era's more silicon-heavy controls (SCRs, Triodes, etc). Any idea how
smoothly a VW-with-jet-starter/generator conversion can be driven in
everyday use, how efficiently they run when compared to current motors
and PWM controllers, and what is their comparative durability?
Would a "cutting-edge' Curtis SepEx controller, say 600A in the 36-84V
range, make this older style conversion any more efficient, or would
it also need a motor more specific to the job?
