Optimization of a 1974 VW Electric Bug

This project involves optimizing a 1974 VW Electric Bug to improve its speed, torque, and range while meeting customer needs. Through various concepts, including adding batteries and upgrading the motor and controller, we developed a range of configurations. Key concepts explored include the addition of six deep-cycle batteries, a new AC motor setup, and innovative battery configurations, all aimed at maximizing performance metrics. Our decision matrix led us to conclude that combining battery optimization with advanced motor controls will yield the best performance results.
