Re: i3 controller hacking from diyelectriccar.com

That means that I can use the Open Inverter with the BMW i3 motor? Are there also other Open Projects, for example BMS?

Re: i3 controller hacking from diyelectriccar.com

Hello everyone, I have a dumb question. What is the point and goal of hacking the BMW i3 controller? My first idea would be to use the i3 controller with the i3 motor, so I don't really understand the concept of hacking it unless it's to improve the open inverter project and make it compatible with ...

Re: Partlist for a Tesla Swap Project

Ok I understand, all I want is the "Tesla Punch" and not continuous output of 500kw+ But can't I get a Battery Module with less range but more power? The guy in the video that has been linked above says that the Volt Batteries have higher output than the Tesla Modules, meaning that I would...

Re: Partlist for a Tesla Swap Project

Is the calculation correct, the normal Tesla has then 5.2kWh * 15 modules * 6.5 = 507KW ? 236kW are 320Hp or do you mean 300Hp? (just asking) So what would you suggest? What can I power with 7 Tesla modules or 4x 7kWh Chevy Volt packs? For the Chevy packs I would need to make it a "battery floo...

Re: Partlist for a Tesla Swap Project

Oh my god, I just realized that the Tesla Modules are the wrong batteries for my project. The other issue is that I very much prefer FLAT batteries instead of chunky ones like the Volt Gen.2 unless I would make a special case for it so I could fit more batteries in the floor. yes also water cooled. ...

Re: Partlist for a Tesla Swap Project

Thank you again for the replies and infos. So the issue is that the car is pretty small and I truly have no idea how and where to fit more than 7 modules. The issue is that 4 of those 7 modules will be under my driver seat and I will be basically sitting on them like in a Tesla. The other 2 can be p...

Re: Partlist for a Tesla Swap Project

Thank you again, your posts are more helpful that I would have needed. I didn't know that the SDU was also used in the rear. I have the problem that I don't know which motors to choose. P100D are the most powerful ones. P90D are also pretty powerful and cheaper than the P100D ones. Then we have the ...

Re: Partlist for a Tesla Swap Project

Thank you so much! I have trouble finding drive units and controllers. I'm searching for P100D drive units, front and rear ones. What I'm curious about, are some front drive units used in multiple models? Like is the Model X and Model S P100D front drive unit the same? I found a controller that is c...

Partlist for a Tesla Swap Project

Hello dear community, I'm not sure which parts I need to have a running Tesla dual motor car. Research was made and I'm truly not 100% sure what I need to have a drivable EV car. I would be very thankful if someone could tell me which parts I need for a dual motor setup. I'm afraid to make a big mis...
