Polestar 2 rear motor included DIY project

Post by MackV »

Hi
I Wonder if it's possible and if someone used the polestar 2 drivetrain in a project vehicle?
I'm interested to use the complete polestar 2 rear axle assembly instead of the tesla rear axle including my custom project.
But i dont know if there is a way to control the polestar inverter/motor with openinverter or third party system.
Anyone with info about this?

I do hope so, I have the Volvo C40 and from my limited information gathered so far it seems to be the same drive unit and inverter as the polestar, I'd love to be able to use it without its factory speed limits for a custom conversion.

Not one known about on here. Id say if you got the time skills and access to a car it is possible.
