Quick update: The car runs.

Sorry for the long time between post but between work and summer time in Colorado I haven't had much free time to update my build log.  The short story is the car is running now but still tying up loose ends.   Battery packs are all built and installed, 2/0 cable is in with big manual disconnect, DC/DC converter is in and the vacuum for the brakes.  




Really all that is left is some small wiring tasks. I haven't done any real road testing yet as I am finishing the BMS install and more importantly I need to wire a 30amp 220V plug in my garage so I can actually charge up my cells.





I was hoping to have the car finished up this week as I am off to work on the other side of the globe for a few weeks.  So I will probably get the car done in October just in time for the weather to get cold. :)

  1. Hey,

    Keep up the good work and blog posts. I'm teetering on the edge of building my own electric car and seeing where your's took you is a great place to start.
