Motor
Tesla Small Front Drive Unit
The Tesla motor is ideal for independent suspension cars because it has a differential built into the motor's housing. It will produce a maximum of 330 Nm (243 lb-ft) and 220 kW (295 HP), or a continuous 90 kW (120 HP). This motor is the most cost effective option.
Application Considerations
- Compact integration of inverter, motor, and differential make this ideal for many space-limited vehicles
- Intended for use with independent suspension
- No parking pawl
- For more information, see Specifications

Battery
- 42 kWh
- 84 kWh
The 42 kWh 3-module battery pack is intended for passenger cars with a single motor. This pack will be the easiest to install as there are only 3 modules to mount.
Passenger Car : 120 - 140 miles
SUV / Truck : 80 - 100 miles
The 84 kWh 6-module battery pack is intended for SUV's, trucks, and long range applications. This pack will double the range and power output which makes it ideal for dual-motor use.
Passenger Car : 240 - 280 miles
SUV / Truck : 160 - 200 miles
Charging
- Standard Charging
- Fast Charging
Standard charging will charge up to 6.6 kW which will completely charge the 42 kWh battery in about 7 hours and the 84 kWh battery in about 13 hours.
Fast charging will charge up to 50 kW for the 42 kWh battery and 100 kW for the 84 kWh battery. This means that both batteries will fully charge in under one hour. Fast charging will require a larger CCS charging port and a CCS junction box.
High voltage Wiring
- Wire
- Loom
low voltage Wiring
- Pigtail Wiring
- Custom Wiring
The main connectors in the wiring harness such as the Vehicle Control Unit and the Power Distribution Modules will be pinned. Wires will need to be trimmed and pinned into proper connectors as well as high voltage connectors assembled.
With measurements from the customer, a full custom wiring harness will be included with no modification needed.
Screen
Ampere EV offers two screens to choose from: an 8 inch screen and an 11 inch screen. Both screens are android head units capable of controlling audio, hands free calling, back up camera, and more. The control box can be mounted seperately from the screen within a few inches, or much further away with the optional extra long ribbon cable.
- 8 Inch

- Vacuum Pump
- Vacuum Reservoir
Power Steering
In partnership with EPAS Performance, Ampere EV is able to offer any EPAS power steering kit. These kits will integrate seamlessly into the Atom Drive System to allow speed and drive mode dependent steering weight. If EPAS does not make a power steering kit for your vehicle, a universal power steering kit will be included and some fabrication will be necessary.
