Features

Thanks to advanced composite construction, the EV-9 weighs only 2480 lbs.,

one of the lightest vehicles

available today. for comparison, a Smart car

weighs about 1750 lbs.

The standard wheels on the

EV-9 are forged alloys and

measure 18 x 8.5" front and

18 x 10" rear. The tires are

225/35WR-18 and 285/30WR-18 ultra-high

performance radials.

The battery pack of the EV-9

weighs 1348 lbs. A comparable pack made of lead-acid batteries would weigh over 2400 lbs.!

The EV-9 will accelerate to

60mph from a standstill in under 3.5 seconds. Only a handful of cars in the world

are quicker ( and cost a great deal more! )

The EV-9 can store an amazing 69.2 kw/ hrs. of energy in its battery pack, by far the most of any production EV to date. The Tesla is rated at 53.9 kw/hours.

Utilizing mass centralization, whereby the

heaviest components are located as close to the centerline of the vehicle as possible, the EV-9 achieves perfect 50/50 weight distribution and an extremely low center

of gravity.

In spirited driving, the EV-9 will travel approximately

250 miles before needing

a recharge.

The Elithion BMS is the standard on-board

battery monitoring system. Each of the EV-9s 108 cells are continuosly monitored for safe, efficient charging every time. The Elithion BMS is the only choice for LiFePO4

batteries.

The true heart of the EV-9 is this specially modified motor designed by Jim Husted. Affectionately known as the

"Jimpulse 11", it is made of two series wound 11" motors siamesed together to produce 332 hp and over 1119 lbs/ft of torque! This exact setup has been proven in thousands of hours of street use and drag racing. It measures approximately 34" long and 11" in diameter and is mounted low in the EV-9 chassis for excellent weight distribution

( where the transmission would be located in a conventional front engine, rear drive automobile ).

The Speed EV-9 uses 108 of the Thundersky LiFePO4 200ah cells. These state of the art

batteries combine to produce

345 volts and can store a staggering 69.2 kw/h. These cells are extremely rugged and reliable and can be recharged

approximately 3000-4000 times before needing replacement.

Each one measures about

12x10x3" and weighs about 12

pounds.

The rear suspension is also a true inboard shock design. Inboard shocks greatly reduce unsprung weight, improving suspension performance. Once again, fully adjustable Koni coilover shocks and Eibach springs are used. The rear differential is a Ford 8.8 unit with a 3.27 ratio. Toe, Caster, and Camber are all fully adjustable.

Now THATS a front suspension! When is the last time

you saw a TRUE inboard shock design on a street car? The front suspension of the EV-9 was designed to offer true racecar handling with a smooth compliant ride. Fully adjustable Koni coil over shocks are used with Eibach springs. Steering is rack and pinion with 2.8 turns lock to

lock. Wilwood four piston calipers and 13" cross drilled rotors ensure reliable, fade-free braking every time.

We are especially proud of our pre-production test mule chassis. Fitted with a Mazda Rotary drivetrain, we used it to extensively test

vehicle dynamics and stability. It was also an invaluable tool for component placement and driver/passenger ergonomics. Note the massive side impact structure composed of 3x2" side rails and 1 5/8 " round lattice designed supporting framework.
