Would you like to convert your old car using a modern Nissan Leaf Motor? Fairly compact in size, and a great solution for front or rear wheel drive with independent suspension. Custom mounting is required depending on your installation. The motor, inverter, reduction drive and differential are shipped as an assembled unit (inverter is separate with the ZE0 model).
This kit includes our VCU and the VCU acessory kit (see the Included Components tab).
If you want to use the entire drivetrain for a boat, you can modify the differential and use a single output shaft at ~1200 rpm.
Crating fees and freight fees apply if being shipped. Please call for an estimate and system availability. Approx 280 pounds.
Inverter/Motor models below can be controlled by the VCU. Availability subject to inventory and demand - please contact us before ordering.
- ZE0 80 kW Inverter/Motor (2011-2012) - Separate motor and inverter (call ThunderStruck to request this model)
- AZE0 80 kW Inverter/Motor (2013-2017) - Inverter and motor in one unit
- ZE1 110 kW and 160 kW Inverter/Motor (2018+) - Inverter and motor in one unit
NOTES:
- All inverter/motors are factory matched sets, so an inverter from one vehicle will not work with a motor from another vehicle.
- Leaf motor RPM is factory limited in the reverse direction (Forward is counterclockwise when facing the motor driveshaft).
Inverter pinout connections are shown in the manual listed under the Manuals tab on the VCU page below.
