Being that my day job is dealing with solar products, electric cars, and other gizmos... what do you all think of an electric Bronco?
Based on my calculations, I can get comparable HP and twice the torque out of one of our high voltage DC motors, while keeping the overall vehicle weight comparable to one with a traditional powerplant.
Only downside would be the range... [email protected]
Me and my bossman were discussing another companies' failed Ford Escort conversion and the idea popped into my head about a fullsize EV.
It wouldnt be that huge of a deal.. I can get a mount fabbed to match the boltpattern of the 302 to an AOD... then all gasoline parts can be removed, making space for batteries. From the inside, based on my initial figures, you'd never be able to tell it was 8 cylinders short..and the only dead giveaway on the outside would be the lack of a tailpipe.. but then again, Horsesh!t lacks a tailpipe.. heh, whatever.
Any thoughts?
