Want to know which one does, and if before this toyota incident if it might have been the main one.
I’m asking for what companies sell the most, not for a particular brand to buy.
Most and best, sorry.

Ok,
I’m building an electric go kart type car, and I need a decent amount of power. I’m using Thundersky 40Ah 3.7V batteries x 38 to get 120V system. Now, these batteries will not provide enough “off the mark” power in order to get fast accelleration. I’m considering using 48 x 650Farad 2.7V Ultra Capacitors in series, giving a total capacitance of around 14 – 15F, and a voltage of 121.6V, in order to provide the motor with enough “up and go” juice for this fast accelleration I want.
I’m thinking; place the capacitor bank in parallel with the batteries and thats it.
I feel like I’m missing something.
Please help.
The motor I’m running has a 16kW continuous power, and about 60kW peak.
The batteries will be equiped with a management system which, equalises the battery voltages, prevents overcharge, and prevents overdischarge.
Will this work?
If you didn’t notice, I have 48 x 650 Farad, 2.7 volt caps. Putting these in series reduces the capacitance to around 14-15 Farads, but adds the voltages to 121.6 Volts.

I am looking for a ford ranger for an electric conversion, the vehicle will preferrably have a blown engine (since it is coming out anyway) manual transmission, 2 wheel drive and no frills

I’ve considered doing a force diagram, but I don’t think it will help. Friction is assumed zero (ideal) at the axles. I need the minimum horsepower allowable to move the vehicle at a known speed and weight. Any ideas?
Alright, I was wrong to assume that friction was zero. I actually don’t know what the coefficient of friction is, but the vehicle will be using bicycle wheels.
Its a small lightweight aluminum frame. I estimate with the driver, it will be 300 lbs. Speed requirements is about 15 – 20 mph.
A little more info: The vehicle will have four wheels and yes, it’ll be chain driven.
But again for the power, I assume this is calculated with force diagrams and applying Newtons Law. So we have the forces we have are normal force, weight (gravity), friction, drag and the force require to overcome friction/drag right? Will the friction be at the axles?
