EV Subaru Conversion

[DacerX]

Just thinking about this with all the new EV cars out there. Wondering how much this would be to do, really using a 4wd car with a electric motor doesnt sound like a good idea because of the extra power it will take to spin 4 wheels over 2.

Thoughts on this? Biggest issue is batterys and were to put them all.

Batteries have always been the issue, no one ever really needs 4 seats all of the time right?

reckon chuck a decent motor where the EJ is & a few cells & whatnot, run some sound effects thru the stereo & bob's ya muvver bruvver

What about 2 motors. 1 for front and 1 for rear? Possibility of switching from 4wd to 2wd?

ahhh isnt the new MR Subaru (prototype) just that?

The way that the tesla is set up is amazing with having 2 motors for just the rear wheels. seems that using 2 motors that use less power but means more torque seems to be the way to go. you could do it i guess...... but if you were trying to put it in a car that had a engine i would say that keeping the 4wd system would be the way to go. Or get a MR2

Ideally you'd want a motor at each corner and ditch the entire rest of the drive train.
