Re: I-miev battery pack and Prius-Gen3-Inverter-master
I searched for quite a bit and for the life of me can't find imiev CMU pin labels. As in which pins to tap to for CAN and power supply. Can you guys post them here? Are they the same as in Tom-evnut/OutlanderPHEVBMS? Asking before checking because i don't want to fry anything. According to evmonitor...

Re: Newb Asks: Do we use the Prius motor or the Prius Plug-in one?
At 360V it outputs about 50 kW up to 50 kph and in field weakening diminishes to 30 kW at 120 kph. As far as I remember this translates to 1500 and 3600 rpm auf MG2 Do you know the reason for that? I thought electric motors were only limited by their thermal design or overheating. Why would the mot...

Re: [DRIVING] BMW Touring + prius + phev
, but consensus on here seemed to be Prius motor alone would be under-powered. I wasn't sorry about that, as it is huge and weighs a ton. Can you elaborate on that please? I wanted to try this but theres not much info on that. Wiki says mg1 and mg2 are rated for 45kw. That gives 90kw. Should be com...

Re: Guide to CAN for toddlers (or people with arduino UNO)
Looks like I will not be buying arduino due. It is necessary for SavvyCAN. OIC demands one of those adapters https://python-can.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interfaces.html . I don't have any device that makes use of those programs so there's no point in buying DUE for now. Outlander's OBC is off becaus...

Re: GS 450h/rx450h/outlander which one to pick?
This is exactly the situation I am in. I have two Lexus GS450h cars. I bought the first as a donor for an EV build and because I couldn't source a decent battery I just drove it around as a hybrid. When the traction battery came up with a fault i replaced a cell and carried on. I then bought a BMW ...

Guide to CAN for toddlers (or people with arduino UNO)
So it all began with a video of someone spoofing Imiev's SOC and this github https://github.com/dkotin/can_2515/tree/master/b and this is why I own an arduino uno. I have acquired adc flying bms from the local shop recently. Turns out CAN is not as easy as it might seem. If you see someone having a ...

Re: Switched ADC BMS
Alright. Turns out my brain is too smooth for this. The stuff about mapping and connecting to openinverter board i get. That way I can blindly believe the BMS is working and test it by applying 2v on one cell tap. If the car stops moving - it works. Problem now is that I do not have OI board and wan...

The way the car handles NiMH is wild and one source says it can go up...

Why not use leaf stack or Tesla one for front wheels and leave 250kw of 450h stack at the rear wheels?

Re: GS 450h/rx450h/outlander which one to pick?
I recently realised that reason why nobody is doing such conversions REALLY is about money. Buying such car just to convert it to ev is irrational money and work-wise. Also- Potential profit from such upgrades (either full EV or just upgraded plugin) is negated by the lack of clients. The only reaso...

Re: GS 450h/rx450h/outlander which one to pick?
I'm suspecting you are missing my point. I don't care about being able to integrate zombieverter into a hybrid vehicle. It is all about about not having to weld and hacksaw anything. Zombieverter supports a narrow amount of inverters/motors. Lexus and Prius cost the same but Prius motor is not power...

Hello there. The idea of buying a hybrid and try to increase its battery (or turning it into EV) keeps bothering me more and more. By the knowledge gained here there are only three oem inverter+trans pairs that can produce 150-200HP output. GS 450h/rx450h/outlander(can't find gs300h in similar price...

Re: General questions about troubles with converting hybrids or upgrading BEVs
Actually, it is totally possible to replace the NiMh with a Li based pack, but you have to LIE to the Toyota BMS about cell voltage so the vehicle will function. Basically the Toyota BMS leads would connect to a series resistor string across the Li pack selected to return the correct cell voltage a...

Re: Looking for OEM options
Feel free to make a list of your own. If there are android apps using OBD to read cell temp and voltage then there's high possibility that this data can be read directly from the battery. Beware that some cars have BMS outside of battery casing. Make your own contraption to supply 12v and canbus to ...
