AC Drive Systems

Ideal for: electric vehicle conversions, utility vehicle conversions, marine drive,  Check out UBC's electric beetle with the AC 50 system which drove across Canada. The HPEVS AC50 motor and curtis 1238 controller performed flawlessly!

24-108 volt AC drive systems for small vehicles under 3000 pounds. The controller has smooth regen braking and offers great acceleration and low end tourque.   AC induction drive systems are now available for EV conversions. Compared to DC motors AC systems are typically more efficient and have the benefit of regenerative braking. This is a form of motor braking where energy is put back into the battery pack when the vehicle brakes or the driver lets off the accelerator. As well as being very efficient AC motors are also brushless which means that they require no maintenance.
