Thank you very much for that reply. I will abandon that plan and stick with more of a workaround for my issue

Unrelated to diy EV conversions but thought worth an ask here.
I have a 120 litre Ice cream batch pasteuriser, it is run by a STM ST62. I would dearly lovely to alter it's temperature range (currently 65-95C) so I wonder how naive it is to think about reading the code and modifying it accordingly?

Lovely stuff!

Excellent, look forward to hearing back from that!

So that's ~416wH/mile, actually about what I had guessed at, good to know thank you. Any thoughts on my question about the transmission above? I'm currently having second thoughts, I just got my first ev, a Zoe, I'm really loving the ride comfort and have started converting it to a 'van' for dogs an...

Ah, thanks!

No, I don't

I did that in mine. Note that I did add some cable protector and proper cable mounts and I would recommend a ground sleeve/mesh for the motor phase cables for EMI reasons, it's on my late to-do list. As for the PDM, it has cables already, just cover the extra holes you aren't using. Nice one, thank...

Yes I've read that before, I've also seen plenty of batteries put up front

Yes, I think so. A Nissan leaf based system with can throttle and OE vcu

Hi Greenbeast. Do you mean the throttle will ramp up slower or reduce power ? I'm thinking of something akin to an 'eco' button on a production EV. But more specifically to dampen throttle response to make off roading (low range driving) more practical. So you hit the button and you then need more ...

Interested because I'm wondering if I could mount the inverter and charger forward of the motor and leave a nice large, square area for batteries/HVJB above them all

I did post this in the nissan section but then it occurred to me, it's not unique to any given donor system. Forgive me if this is common knowledge or a common thing to do but it occurred to me that a variable response throttle might be handy given I am converting a 4x4, I am keeping the transmissio...

Can someone point me to any projects where the leaf stack components were separated and mounted independently?

Forgive me if this is common knowledge in the leaf motor reuse world but it occurred to me that a variable response throttle might be handy given I am converting a 4x4, I am keeping the transmission and therefore the stock low range box. But presumably with low end torque of an electric motor I don'...

I notice you still have the rad up front, does it have a purpose in the conversion? Also, I know you've retained the stock transmission, do you have thoughts on the hi/lo aspect? Do you think you still need it, given the motors inherent capability? I was wondering about deleting the hi/lo gear stick...

Now you definitely have my attention

Look forward to more updates, we can both bring aspects of our email conversation into this thread as appropriate as we go

thanks for that, i'll be back on this at some point this year

Hi, Just wanted to let you know that I am also working on a EV conversion for the Fourtrack/Rocky. My aproach is using the Nissan Leaf motor and inverter. From what I could see on the Mercedes G conversion (also on this forum) it looks like the setup directly onto the transferbox should work, eithe...

Thanks guys

I see firms are offering this now, where do we stand on diy swapping a 24 to 40kWh pack?

Did a quick search and nothing immediately popped up here.

I'm looking at getting a Leaf as a daily driver in the next few months, with my conversion project on the back burner for now.

Passenger, it has part time 4wd

That coupling is cracking.

I've just watched this despite no intention to use any Tesla parts, frankly i'm astounded this is possible from a DIYer position. Incredible

Does seem pretty cool.

I dare say i might take one off your hands at some point in the future
