research research research, also use the search button on here too. I KNOW there is TONS of info on here. check out other people’s builds thus far. I know that NewDawn has his thread about him building his saturn into a full EV vehicle. read that and it should help with all the info your looking for. (not trying to be mean, just saying, the info is there and it gets tedious typing the same stuff each time)
