The Basics:
• EV: electric vehicle• Are EV’s practical? Golf courses and
airports have thought so for many years.• But what about on the road? Are there
EV’s among us? Yes, and not just in California!
• Is there actually technology available to you and me to allow us to operate a practical EV? Yes!

Components• What is out there that you need to have to
build an EV (besides batteries)?– Motor– Controller– Charger– DC/DC Converter– Heater– Instrumentation– Contactor(s)– Safety Equipment
![Page 10: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Motors
• OEM’s: typically AC drive– Fail-safe design– Low initial torque, higher at speed– requires complicated electronics
package• AC speed control (similar to industrial)• Inverter (convert DC to AC)• High voltage (240-350 VDC)• Bearings only mechanical maintenance item
![Page 11: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Motors• Hobbyist: typically brushed DC series
wound– Motors are available and inexpensive– 100% torque at 0 RPM– Controllers are dirt cheap compared to AC– No inverter stage required– Lower voltage system (72-156 VDC)– Bearings and brushes are potential
maintenance items (change brushes every 100,000 hours or so)
![Page 12: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Motors• “Advanced DC” 9” diameter motor• Others include GE, Prestolite
![Page 13: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Controllers• In General, Volts = Speed, Amps =
Torque– Curtis
• to 144 VDC, 500 Amps
– Auburn Scientific• to 192 VDC, 1200 Amps
– DCP• to 336 VDC, 600/1200 Amps
– EVCL• “GODZILLA” to 336 VDC, 1200 Amps
![Page 14: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Controllers• All use PWM technology.
![Page 15: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Chargers• OEM: uses weird connectors like inductive
“paddle” or AVCON “gas pump” nozzle.• Hobbyist: How about something everyone
already has, like 120 VAC household outlets and 240 VAC dryer outlets?
• Simple (voltage regulated) to complicated (computer controlled charging algorithms)
• More advanced charging required for advanced batteries (AGM)
![Page 16: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DC/DC Converters
• Uses PWM to step traction pack voltage down to 12V to run car accessories.
• Common in electronics use• Not widely available in the
voltages required
![Page 17: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Heater
• Ceramic - Self-regulating temperature of about 180° F.
• As temp. increases, resistance increases, decreasing power and stabilizing temp.
• Therefore, more air across the element = more heat.
• Typically 1500W. Can be stacked for more heat.
![Page 18: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Heater
• The right type can be “harvested” from an AC ceramic heater.
![Page 19: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Instrumentation
• Instrumentation can be as simple as an expanded scale voltmeter, but can be sophisticated, and include:– Traction Pack Voltmeter– Battery Current Ammeter– Motor Current Ammeter– Amp-hour/kWh meter (“E-Meter”)
![Page 20: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Contactors
• BIG relays for switching traction pack
![Page 21: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Safety• Inertia switch to deactivate contactor(s)
– same as is used to shut off fuel pumps in ICE cars
• AGM batteries - no spillage• Service disconnects - BIG circuit breakers• Fuses, of course• Traction pack is electrically isolated from
frame• 8 G crash load rating recommended for
battery boxes
![Page 22: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Performance
• Acceleration and speed – About the same as ICE– Ranges from “economy car” to
“muscle car”.– DC motors great for drag racing– Current NEDRA record 8.801 seconds
in the 1/4 mile by “Current Eliminator”
![Page 23: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Performance• tZero by AC Propulsion
![Page 24: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY David Brandt, P.E.. The Basics: EV: electric vehicle Are EVs practical? Golf courses and airports have thought so for many.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513ee7d55034674748b5ada/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Performance - tZero
• AC Propulsion's tzero out-accelerated a Ferrari F355, a new Corvette, and a Porsche Carrera 4 in a series of impromptu 1/8 mile drag races held on January 22, 2000 at Moffett Field in Mountain View, California, and at Calstart's northern facility at the former Alameda Naval Air Station.

Performance
• Range - typically 30-60 miles– somewhat dependent on if you have a lead
foot– great for commuting, which is where
people use the most gas anyway.– Use an ice vehicle for long trips - the right
tool for the right job.
• Over 100 miles attainable with purpose-built EV’s or using advanced batteries

Emissions
• Common claim is EV’s just move the pollution
• Point taken, but power plant emissions are scrubbed to a point not possible on a vehicle.
