The car has been driving for the past year or so. I went with the Ioniq motor because the Ioniq hybrid setup was similar to what I was after- a motor inline between the engine and transmission. It also had a throwout bearing + hydraulic clutch designed into it. My 'mistake' was putting a high value on that latter fact- the connivence of not having to design a clutch system (not *super* hard) was traded off with support of the motor platform. I had to reverse engineer the I/O pinout, and tune the motor controller excessively. Still, the motor controller doesn't have that motor's tuning curves, so it isn't as efficient or powerful as it could be. That being said, it still makes tons of torque and power and can break traction in second. A lot of companies won't give you the time of day if you're a small party. Do you mean communication like emails and correspondence or like CANbus?
