newbie with questions



Just a couple of questions from a new kid on the
block. What are the relative advantages/disadvantages
of ac vs. dc motors and controls in evs. I'm hoping to
build an ev that will drop some jaws around town but
I'm really disappointed at the cost of some of the
high performance systems I've seen. If this ev thing
is going to take off we've got to make machinery that
people will want to drive at a price they (I) can
afford. Any advice/info on making your own motor/drive
system? I've got access to a machine shop and some
experience with machines. I've also got 20yrs+
electrical experience in industrial
electrical/controls. Thanks in advance for the info.
