Re: [EVDL] '91 BMW 318i conversion to electric

Howdy Folks It's been years since I posted here (ever since discussions of drag racing were banned), but I do still read the EVDL on occasion and credit the folks here with providing an initial crash course for me on EV technology. The conversion issue made me want to chime in. The days of

Re: [EVDL] Troubleshooting a Curtis 1238-6501

Something changed. Disconnect the FWD/REV related wiring as close to the controller as possible to eliminate any possibility of error. Check status. All should be off. Energise each circuit directly as specified in wiring diagram. This has worked for me. Make a new circuit if necessary. Good Luck!

Re: [EVDL] TX sez “Electric vehicles are not allowed,”> excuse fire

Off topic? The only reason I can see that this is off topic for the EVDL is that it's about electric drag racing and we don't allow talk about that here. On Sat, Jul 27, 2019 at 7:16 PM brucedp5 via EV wrote: > > > The following EVnews link is offt and not allowed for discussion on the >

[EVDL] Honda Insight Lithium Upgrade

Hi Folks A friend has a 2001 Honda Insight with a degraded NiMh battery pack and wants to upgrade it to Lithium. I suspect there are multiple reasons this may not work, primarily that the on-board battery management software isn't compatible with Lithium. If anyone could provide "insight" on

Re: [EVDL] Leaf battery pack connector

I am thinking the wide availability of the Leaf packs at a reasonable cost from local wrecking yards is a major driver. Plus. Wrecking yards usually will deliver it for free :-) On Friday, December 23, 2016, tomw via EV wrote: > May I ask why the two of you (John, Cor)

Re: [EVDL] Best deal on Lead Acid for conversion?

A Marine/RV battery is not a 'traction' battery and will have a very short life in an EV application. We are at the point where you won't be saving any money by using lead instead of lithium. Lead is Dead. On Thu, Jul 21, 2016 at 4:16 PM, Bobby Keeland via EV wrote: > I

Besot. Haven't heard that used in years :-) Just curious... If someone got killed while drunk driving and happened to be driving a Tesla or other electric car would that make it EV related news? On Sat, Sep 26, 2015 at 1:20 AM, brucedp5 via EV wrote: > > > >
