Dual Motor Electric Vehicle Drivetrain With Powerglide 2 Speed Transmission Walkthrough by EV West

Ex EVtv intern Matt Auber from EV West is showing us the process of coupling two DC Warp 11 Motors and adding a 2-speed PowerGlide Transmission

This is the exact same power plant of their 95' BMW M3 Electric that went up Pikes Peak last year



"Here's a brief 10 minute video that gives a nice overview of the EV West 2 speed Powerglide transmission that runs without a torque converter direct drive to 2 coupled Warp 11 motors. Depending on the voltage and current, these twin motors can put out well over 1000 lb/ft of torque, and 600+ horsepower. We used this motor and transmission combination to power our BMW M3 to the summit of Pikes Peak in 2012 setting an all time record for street legal electric cars. The strength and reliability of this system is key. For more information regarding this bolt in drive train, please visit http://evwest.com for the latest updates."

Well they did race @ Pikes Peak for the first time and were 54th overall which is very good for a start





Here is a practice run on board with Michael Bream (EV West co-founder), who actually drove the car for the race too because the professional driver could not make it for this date, the event being push from july to august because of wild fires
