Since the Tesla Model S is the most advanced electric car on the market, it was a great challenge to reverse engineer it's crown jewel - the 310kW, 590Nm single speed drivetrain. To manage that, I'm using my UMC Drive - a motor controller I've originally developed for Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius inverters.
Some more information is available on my new blog http://ecarproject.ch/

Here is a video with some commentary and the Tesla Motor spinning in my flat:
I just found your blog. I am trying to hack and use an electric smart car drivetrain in my 1974 Saab Sonett electric conversion. I would love to talk with you sometime about your work.
Awesome work Michal! I'm so proud to see the F28069M LaunchPad being used this way (I designed it ;-) ).
Keep up the good work! I can't join the project because I work at TI, but if you need anything follow me on twitter and I'll DM you my email address. @yertnamreg
I was just pondering over the idea/feasibility of swapping a P85D drivetrain into a 1939 pickup that I am building. I'll be watching, FYI your video is set to private and is not viewable through the HAD embed.
hey I’ve been trying to find others who appreciates ev cars and is willing to put the time into making their own
