SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on converting a Maruti Suzuki Omni van into an electric vehicle (EV) for goods transportation. The proposed setup includes an HPM 20 kW BLDC motor paired with an HPC 700 motor controller. Key specifications for the modified vehicle include a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 2000 kg, a frontal area of 2.34 sq.m, and a maximum velocity of 60 km/hr. The user also plans to implement a DC to DC converter to power standard 12V equipment within the vehicle.
