Re: Deciding what donor & needing info?

OK! I took the plunge and bought the Leaf board.

How do you guys set up your dashboard/gauges. Would be nice to have a screen on Bluetooth device.

Re: water / flood sensor

Re: Deciding what donor & needing info?

Questions,

With the open inverter is the stock charger L1 & L2 and DC to DC retained?

Is the Leaf throttle retained?

Is there a guide on the forum that walks a project through step by step?

Can a gauge set up be used on a tablet or phone?

Thanks for your time.

Mods feel free to move it) I like so many people out there would love to do an EV conversion but are not electrically savvy. Its eas...
