I am hoping to find an electric motor that could have the same/greater horsepower and torque as a Volvo D13 diesel engine, I am hoping to convert a shuttle bus into an EV and I need to know if an electric motor exists that is powerful enough.

      Build your own pack?

      Wow? How are you going to handle cooling? BMS? You can’t just air cool the suckers and you need a cell-aware BMS with appropriate control software.

      Well, you air cool it can but the old Nissan Leaf demonstrates how bad an idea that is and that was a pretty small motor it was driving.

      People go with Tesla packs because it includes a full water cooling conduit and pump system and sensors and BMS and balanced DC/DC inverter, etc.
