Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I think I may have asked the same question elsewhere but it hasn't drawn any response as yet, so maybe better luck here. AC motors are as common as dirt in industrial areas & I'm certain I've seen a write-up where one was used in an EV conversion. As I recall, the motor in question was purchased for chickenfeed from a junkyard & proved to be perfect for the conversion, in fact the torque was such that no transmission was needed. The $25,000 cost would obviously cause most people to select a DC motor, but if its relatively straightforward to use a used industrial AC motor, the costs would almost certainly favour that.
