Re: US - Colorado area EV Conversion companies

It was all in this thread: https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=714&start=125 I have certain pieces, but no motor or batteries. Trying to find someone to build a battery box was much more challenging than I imagined. On the flip side, me and the bf got rid of all of our gas vehicles - ...

US - Colorado area EV Conversion companies

Hey all. Long time no chat. I've moved to the Denver area (in Loveland, CO, actually) - trying to find an EV conversion place that can help me do the battery box design and the actual conversion. As some of you remember, I'm definitely more a software guy than hands on haha. I'm buying a house soon ...

Re: BMW i3 CCS/charge port controller

Yep. Just like the Tesla stuff wants to know drive system status with DC vs doesn't care with AC. :) 0xa5 sounds like a similar thing. (Based on what little I know of BMW BN architecture CAN messages)

Re: Tesla Model 3 Charge Port Controller Standalone Development

I'd call this pretty successful - I updated 9 messages to be all 0x00 or at least 90% 0x00 and AC charging still works. No idea if I broke any DC stuff haha. Thankfully it's all in one commit so it's easy to revert. ;) On another note... PXL_20220622_220528627.jpg I got a datalog for CCS charging fr...

Some good news, some bad news. Good news: my car should support CCS now. I'm still waiting on my adapter to be shipped from South Korea.

It's ENGIRO GmbH 260W-08011-ABC motor. I recently sold the LG Batteries I had. I was going to get the OxDrive...

Re: Leaf spline coupler

As I will update in my project thread - I may be going back to a Nissan Leaf motor.

I intend to use this with a flywheel / clutch / BMW 6-speed manual (M54 engine originally).. am I better off getting the first or the second version?

Thanks,

Awesome work. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Re: High-Power L110 Hybrid / EV-only Regen Potential Issues?

I always forget about field weakening. But I'm going to assume that's not in play here, at least not in the MG1 situation, as it's being driven by the engine externally. I guess the other issue is we don't have working regen (as of the last time I looked into this deeply) so the current behavior is ...
