If the controller just varies the average voltage (by means of pulses) across the motor to control its speed, how it will affect under varying loads?

Assume we supply average voltage of 20% to get the car to 20 Km-pH when the load is 50 Kg.

Now the load is increased to 75 Kg and can we get it to 20 Km-pH by just supplying 20% average voltage?

Hi Wolf, If you are wandering how to heat your diy electric car, you can check out the video at the following link --> Making a heater for electric car. It shows how Gavin Shoebridge of New Zealand did it with a homemade heater for his Mitsubishi Tredia EV. 'Will

Just found your site while researching info on building an electric car. Looks to be doable at a fairly low cost. The biggest problem I see so far is making heat in the passenger compartment for winter driving. Minus 40degrees for 50 minute commute to work is not fun. Also, is there any permanent magnet motors large enough to provide the power for one of these EV conversions? If there is I pray to the tool gods that it is neo.
