My Zero motorcycle policy is about £250, but that comes with a whopping £1800 excess

Thats still high, I was quoted about 150 ( in stock ICE ) for my classic insurance, this is just anther factor that could put people off converting

Thanks for the info, haven't really looked that far ahead.

I have my leaf/gearbox setup suspended in the engine bay now (BMW 2002 1973) I need to fab up some motor mounts, the original ICE was mounted to the sub frame. It doesn't look possible to do this as the motor sits very close to the original mount on one side, and looks like I will have to cut the ot...

Is there any reason why the leaf BMS can not be used in conjunction other OEM 96s battery packs ?

if so does it matter which unit to get ( are there two different units )

Are the connectors and crimps available ?

Nice work. what BMS are you using ?

....so what happens now, can this car be driven legally on the road.

Hi Tom,
Any plans to add the Kia to the range. ?
I have a Kia soul pack with BMS.

Does this inverter setup give out more power than the original leaf inverter ?

Wow, you're actually fitting the whole power tower :) We yet have to find a car where this just fits. As everyone knows I despise Nissans charger for its size but it would still be cool to get it working. Any knowledge on the latter?

Spotted this suspiciously cheap lot earlier this week. 24kWh Leaf battery + Charger, HV Cable and Capacitor assembly, £1750 or best offer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-2015-NISSAN-LEAF-24kwh-ELECTRIC-BATTERY-JUNCTION-PACK-295B03NA0A-28k-MILES/254794075289 Could be an absolute bargain if anyone's...

This look interesting bit of kit to add to the corsa steering box

Send the guy a message, he isn't advertising it anywhere

Are the HV and DC plugs available to buy ? (for the DC/DC converter )

Spoke to MBS salvage They Have Nissan Leaf 2017 40Kw Battery Pack For Sale You can negotiate the price; Its not advertised anywhere: I'm not connected with this sale ( project on hold, I was waiting on replies from him as he did not know the batt size ) I think he will will sell the Gen2 motor stack...

this guy seems be using them in his solar shed:


looks like it could work quite expensive if you needed 96 modules, then they have be fitted to a enclosure

nice work, have been impressed by your metal bending skills, batt box etc.

parts I have.

Send me a PM if your intrested

I have some of the internals of a gen2 box if they are the same

even just running the charger and DCDC would be good

This would be a nice solution , would save some money too, shame they are so bulking, sure most people with a gen2 have the charger/dcdc sitting on their garage floor

Like the Prius power steering idea

I'll bare this in mind thanks. It might work out cheaper to use the part from the transmission but I was trying to avoid that. If I ever want to use the parts I've got to convert a front wheel drive car I might need it. I did try this, I took the shaft out of the leaf drive , I did try a couple of ...

nice project
