New web site
I have stumbled upon a good site for general interest "EVAlbum" which has pics and write up's on many ev's, both production and conversions. One thing I don't understand tho, with the same motor, controller, voltage and vehicle size all those guys are going much faster and farther than I. ...

capacitors
I'm new here so I may have missed it. Have you had any discussion about capacitors as a battery replacement (not an assist) ?

Geeky;
My Dodge Ram 50 (Mitsubishi) pickup pulls 90A at 30-32 mph. I have 6 deep cycle 12V lead acid batterys. I am new at this but my range appears to be 15-20 miles. An acquaintance of mine says range can be roughly estimated at 1 mile for 20# of lead.

Hey Cat; Thanx for the reply. The back emf reasoning makes sense, I had not thought of that. Is the emf dependant on rpm, current or both? If both, in what proportions? Can it be overridden with increased voltage? My truck goes faster with 72V than it did with 36V and I'll bet it would be faster yet...

Educate me!
I have an '82 Dodge Ram 50 (Mitsubishi) pickup running 72V (lead acid) with a D&D series wound motor and an Alltrax 7245 controller. I should add that I have installed rather small tires - 21 1/2" standing height. It will max out, with the pedal floored, on a level road, at 30 mph while dra...
