Owner's Other EV | 1969 Triumph GT6 MK2 | ||
Location | London, England United Kingdom map | ||
Vehicle | 1965 Triumph TR4A Car was bought as a pretty rusty body-shell missing the engine and is the process of a complete restoration before the electric parts will be fitted in. | ||
Motor | Siemens 1PV5135-4WS14 3-Phase AC A Siemens/Azure ac motor from the UK bankruptcy stock. | ||
Drivetrain | Strengthened TR6 chassis with a Richard Goode CV joint and Nissan R200 LSD conversion, custom prop-shaft, BMW 6-speed gearbox connected to an Azure/Siemens motor with a 5.5-inch AP racing twin- plate clutch for low inertia,total clutch flywheel assembly weighs 5kg and is half the diameter of the triumph 22kg clutch and flywheel assembly, hopefully that will make a difference to range and acceleration as it took ages to make! | ||
Controller | Scott Drive 200 Should be powerful enough to provide 150kW (200hp). | ||
Batteries | 3552 Panasonic nca-18650, 400.00 Volt, Lithium-Ion Taken from a P85 Tesla and internally reconfigured to bring each module from 25 volts to 50 volts, allowing for use of only 8 of the 16 modules that were originally in the Tesla, whilst still providing 400volts. These batteries are liquid-cooled/heated and total pack weight is only 200kg with 44kWh capacity. | ||
System Voltage | 400 Volts | ||
Charger | lear 3.3kw two lear 3.3kw chargers for 6.6kw ac charging and chademo fast charging using the Orion BMS as a controller | ||
Heater | Webasto 5.3kW diesel heater, a highly efficient way of heating without affecting the range. Particularly good for the UK! | ||
DC/DC Converter | Dolphin delphi dc dc from a volt Using a delphi dc dc converter with a small 12volt lithium motorcycle battery in place of the original lead-acid battery to save weight. | ||
Instrumentation | smart android radio that can link to Orion BMS hidden in glove-box and re-purposed original analogue gauges, i want the cars interior and exterior to look completely stock. | ||
Top Speed | 150 MPH (241 KPH) Should be approximately double the power of the original car with far more torque, and the original was capable of 109mph so who knows! Will probably never get a chance to reach top speed anyway driving in London... | ||
Acceleration | Hopefully around 5-6s 0-60mph. originally was 8.3 seconds with ice so lets see | ||
Range | 160 Miles (257 Kilometers) hopefully ill get round 150-180 miles as i have a 43kwh pack and car should do around 200- 250 WH mile the Tesla 85 with double the battery count has a claimed 320 mile range and weighs over double this car at 2200kg so this prediction is believable | ||
Watt Hours/Mile | 220 Wh/Mile I hope around the 220 mark | ||

Seating Capacity | 2 adults with optional rear seat for 2 more. | ||
Curb Weight | 2,184 Pounds (992 Kilograms) All new parts seem to weigh the same as all the old parts that I'm removing so should be roughly stock weight. | ||
Tires | Michelin energy saver | ||
Conversion Time | many | ||
Conversion Cost | more | ||
Additional Features | wilwood front and rear disc brake upgrade, wilwood pedal box with dual circuit braking, optional Triumph Surrey top, leather interior and wool carpets Revington TR rear ARB and coil-over conversion electronic power steering |
