Looking for info on utilizing a Kia Soul EV battery pack for my 2000 Ford Ranger EV. I recently found a fantasic deal on one, and it seems like it would be a great fit for the project.
Ideally, I'd like to try and re-use the Kia BMS, which would allow for CHAdeMO charging and such, but I haven't been able to find much info... Anybody here ever tried to use one of these packs?
