Any idea how much Horsepower is needed from an electric motor to run a VW car if you were to just replace the engine with a motor? Also what would the equivalent horsepower of an electric motor be compared to a gas engine? I know you dont need as much for electric. Is it based on torque for torque, electric vs gas?
I have seen a kit that uses a motor that is suppose to develop 40 HP. My thinking is maybe a 15 -20 HP is plenty, but then again I suppose torque plays a role in this. Any experimenter out there already have figured it out?
