Electric Powertrain

During Western Formula Racing’s 2019 year we converted their internal combustion vehicle to an electric vehicle in a single year. Our electric power-train had an in house developed traction control system which was run off an Motec M150 controller. The M150 was originally a controller for an internal combustion engine, but we re-wrote the firmware from the ground up for an electric vehicle with traction control and data logging. Three key members and myself were responsible for the completion of this project.

Dynamometer Testing

Prior to vehicle integration our safety circuits and traction control system were tested on a dynamometer. We used this setup to pre-tune the PID loop in our traction control system.
