Hi all,
I am new to this forum and new to figuring out what is what in relation to electrically powering a ketch.
I see a fairly large deviation in prices as I look at motor/controller systems of the prepackaged and self assembled nature. Because I would like to understand what is going on before I commit to this I need to understand these deviations.
One purveyor of systems seemed to be charging about $1k/kw of motor power for a fully assembled system. As in $7,000 for a 7kw system and $10,000 for a 10kw system. That seems a bit of an extravagant markup to me when I then go to http://www.thunderstruck-ev.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=147 and see a brushless DC motor rated at 10.5kw for $850 and http://www.thunderstruck-ev.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=6 for a $490 400amp peak rated controller.
I realize that there are other items involved in the prepackaged systems but to me these two would seemingly be the major components. Am I missing something dramatic???
I am hoping that someone will take on this and the other questions that I have.
Michael
