DIY Electric Vehicles are catching on, Instructables member MPaulHolmes has designed and built this 100 HP DIY Electric Car Motor Controller. You normally see the technique that Paul used when you make a circuit board on a CNC machine. But the reason so much copper was left on the board is because the board is used as power distribution within the controller instead of bundles of wires. So what sort of juice flows through a 100 HP electric car motor controller? According to Paul it needs about 500A at 144 volts! If you are interested in purchasing one of these in kit form have a look at the Paul and Sabrina’s EV Stuff web site.
