Hi Folks,
Things are coming together slowly on my EV project with most of the big-ticket items either sitting on a shelf or, in a few cases, actually fitted.
The question now is one of cable sizing.
What cables are you running from your batteries to the inverter etc. and what kind of current can I expect? I am planning to run at about 330V-360V from a VW egolf battery pack.
Thanks everyone.
Andy.

I am using 1/0 shielded cable in the same voltage range.

Re: What current can I expect with a GS450h transmission
Feel free to look at my MG Midget project thread. I pull 250-300 amps at full throttle on a pretty small car. Running at 45mph, I'll range 60-80 amps. My pack is 320 volts fully charged.
