Battery and electric motor specs needed for an Electric Vehicle?

I am wanting to build an electric vehicle, but I'm not too familiar with the energy requirements necessary. I would need the vehicle to go about 100 miles on a charge since I commute in and out of the city everyday. If you guys could provide me with some sites about how much battery power you need to go an x amount of distance at an x amount of speed that would be great. I know I wouldn't be buying lead-acid batteries. I'm curious about whether or not someone can just buy hybrid battery replacement packs themselves. Any good battery websites would be awesome, lithium-ion and etc. Thanks.

A much better place to find information:

Don't be so quick to dismiss lead-acid. It may be the best choice for a homebuilt:

There are a bunch of people who offer to sell plans. One example:

LithiumIon Batteries for Electric Vehicles $149.76 The increased sensibility on environmental problems and the growing price of oil have focused research during the past few years on reducing energy consumption. As for the automotive field, research is devoted to increase vehicle efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions. In that context, the increasing interest on vehicle electrification (HEV, PHEV, EV) brought manufacturers and researchers to invest significant resources in the research and development of advanced energy storage systems, particularly in advanced battery systems. The Book focuses on lithiumion technology because of its superior characteristics suitable for electric vehicles. Even if batteries are so common in daybyday life, thanks to portable electronic systems, the need to use them in EVs and HEVs has underlined new issues with respect to the ones already solved for mobile electronic systems. Characterization, modeling, StateofCharge etimations and disequalization phoenomena are the subjects of this Book. Author: Codeca, Fabio/ Spagnol, Pierfrancesco/ M.

Electric Vehicle Battery $81.25 An electric vehicle battery (EVB) is a rechargeable battery used in electric vehicles, making them battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Batteries are usually the most expensive component of BEVs, although batteries from old or wrecked electric cars can be bought for batterytogrid minipower plants. The cost of battery manufacture is substantial, but increasing returns to scale may serve to lower their cost when BEVs are manufactured on the scale of modern internal combustion vehicles. Since the late 1990s, advances in battery technologies have been driven by skyrocketing demand for laptop computers and mobile phones, with consumer demand for more features, larger, brighter displays, and longer battery time driving research and development in the field. The BEV marketplace has reaped the benefits of these advances.

The Improved Electrolyte System for Lithium Battery. $115.71 Lithiumion batteries (LIBs) are one of the most widely used portable power sources, especially for the cellar phones, camcorders and portable computers. The development of the next generation of lithium ion batteries for Electric Vehicle (EV), Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), or Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) requires the development of improved electrolytes. To date, the commercially available LIBs have a normal discharge voltage around 3.7V at which the oxidation of electrolytes on the surface of cathodes is typically not considered a significant problem. However, recent interest in high voltage cathode materials (>4.5 V vs Li/Li+) has raised concerns about the LiPF6/carbonate based electrolyte stability to oxidation. Furthermore, the flammability of organic electrolyte also limit LIBs application in the EV market and other manned space vehicles. A detailed investigation of the 5V cathode surface with/without additives, including 2,5dihydrofuran (2,5DHF) and gammabuyrolactone (GBL), Lithium bis (oxalato) borate (LiBOB) and Lithium difluoro (oxalato) borate (LiODFB) and related additives was conducted. Furthermore, surface characterization of electrodes with/without phosphorus base flameretardants was also investigated. The research tools used in this dissertation include CV, EIS, NMR, GCMass, XPS, FTIRATR, SEMEDS and TGA.

Modeling and Design of an Electric AllTerrain Vehicle $105.14 This book describes and evaluates the conversion of a conventional gasoline powered allterrain vehicle (ATV) to an electric ATV. Preliminary studies are performed to obtain initial power and torque requirements for the vehicle. A detailed simulation model of the mechanical load is written and compared to manufacturer supplied data. The load model is then combined with a comprehensive electronic drive and motor simulation using an electromagnetic transient simulation program (PSCAD). A prototype of the vehicle is constructed by selecting the main components, an electric traction motor, batteries and a custom motor drive, using the simulation results. The results of both the simulation and prototypes are compared and evaluated.
