Choosing a motor for a Nissan Frontier/Navara conversion depends on the vehicle’s weight, usage, and performance goals. The pickup’s curb weight is around 1.8–2.2 tons, so a 15–20 kW motor is suitable for city driving, while 25–40 kW offers stronger performance or off-road ability. A rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup is standard, so select a motor that connects directly to the rear differential or gearbox. For smooth control, use a matching controller and high-current battery pack. Brushless AC motors with liquid cooling are preferred for durability and torque. Always match the system voltage (72–144 V) to your desired power level for optimal results.
. Based on CMVTE’s years of experience in vehicle conversions, three motor sizes are well suited for this car: 15 kW, 20 kW, 25kw and 40 kW. A 15 kW motor is ideal for city driving, offering good efficiency and smooth performance. The 20 kW option provides a balance between power and range, making it versatile for both urban and short highway trips. For those who need stronger acceleration or plan to use the Civic in more demanding conditions, the 25 kW and 40KW motor delivers higher torque and driving confidence..
15kW motor for Nissan Frontier/Navara
When converting a HNissan Frontier/Navara to electric power, a 96v 15 kW motor is an excellent solution for drivers who value efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Our 15 kW motor is an AC three-phase motor designed to deliver stable performance for everyday use, particularly in city and suburban environments where smooth acceleration and moderate speed are most important.
One of the main advantages of the 15 kW motor is its well-balanced torque output. It provides a rated torque of 47 N·m, ensuring steady and consistent power for normal driving conditions. At the same time, it can deliver a peak torque of 170 N·m, which gives the vehicle strong acceleration when needed, such as during overtaking or climbing slopes. This combination makes the motor powerful enough to move a Nissan Frontier/Navara with confidence, while still maintaining excellent energy efficiency.
In addition, the 15 kW motor is lighter and more compact than higher-capacity motors, which simplifies installation and helps preserve battery life by reducing overall energy demand. For customers who want to enjoy the benefits of electrification without excessive cost or unnecessary complexity, the 15 kW option is a practical and intelligent choice. It balances power, torque, and efficiency, making it an ideal match for urban EV conversions.
