[EVDL] OEM EV charging on 120V with no ground?

2015-10-05 Thread David Nelson via EV
What are the safety issues of charging an OEM EV on 120V without the ground wire connected? I do have an EVSE which will do this if I put 100kohm resistors between hot-ground and neutral-ground which is what I have to do to charge with my portable-inverter generator. I'm not concerned with generato

A basic web search of 48VDC 40A Volt/watt meter shows less for electric bicycles, and more with RC (radio control) hobbyists. Like many things, there sometimes is overlap between markets, so I have found a better price and or more variety by including those other markets (ie: solar, wind, boat, et

Interesting design. From the front, it kind of looks like an anime character. :-) I can't see it with solar panels, though. That would hurt the aerodynamics, among other problems. Should be no problem putting a motor where the engine was, but where would you put the battery? There's a litt

It appears that 20 years later the French made a car similar to German attempts. The C was a front wheel drive design (using the A Series flat twin), housed in an ultra lightweight (382 kg), aerodynamic body with DS style wide front track and narrow rear track. Shaped like a drop of water - t

David, I built something like the Wheezy only much lighter. Mine mounted higher up from a parcel rack over the rear wheel. And I used a flexible hose similar to a radiator hose for the hinge. The high flexible mount was a bad idea. If I had mounted it lower like the Wheezy it would have worked
