[EVDL] Selling my 94 Geo Metro Conversion

Hello everyone, Changing life circumstances have unfortunately necessitated me to sell my beloved 1994 Geo Metro EV conversion. I will be moving to a location where I will not have access to at-home charging in August and unfortunately the range of this car makes it impractical to own without

[EVDL] Hummer EV

Hi Everyone, After reading up on the Hummer EV, it seems like it might be the EV-equivalent of the ICE F-150. Engineering Explained did a video on it, and he explained that any ICE vehicle getting better than 22 MPG is less wasteful than the Hummer EVwhen battery manufacturing emissions are

Re: [EVDL] $7.5bn for ev charging across the US

I think I much better way for the government to promote evs would be to get rid of fossil fuel subsidies. This would increase the price of gas which would undoubly make owning an ev more appealing. Additionally, the government would be spending less money instead of more, which makes eliminating

[EVDL] $7.5bn for ev charging stations across the US

The only problem that I see with this is that the government is making people who do not support ev’s pay for ev charging. I say that we wait for mass ev adoption to happen(which will happen very soon). After this, businesses and apartment building owners will pay for ev charging stations out of

Re: [EVDL] Request Tesla crash data

Here is my take on Tesla FSD Beta: It is your decision to use buy/use FSD Beta. I don't know why anyone would pay $12,000 to be a beta tester, but I guess some people will. When you choose to use this feature, you are assuming all risks associated with it. Yes, it is not perfect, but that is

Re: [EVDL] Join Home Electrification on Nextdoor

The problem I have with using electricity for heat is that as an entire system, it is less efficient unless your electricity usage is 100% covered by solar panels. However, heat pumps may be an exception to this - it probably depends on where you live. I am not entirely sure. For example, say

[EVDL] Looking for some gen 2 Nissan Leaf cells

Hello everyone, I am looking for two gen 2 Nissan Leaf cells to replace some bad cells in my EV conversion. Does anyone know where to get some for a reasonable price? I looked on eBay and they were pretty expensive compared to what I paid for my pack 2 years ago. Nathan -- next part

[EVDL] DC/DC converter for sale

Hi everyone, I have an Elcon DC/DC converter for sale. The label says is is good to 30 amps on the output, but I have never seen more than 8 amps come out of it, so I am selling it as-is. It also produces a large amount of electrical noise on the output. I am asking $10 + shipping. Please email

Re: [EVDL] Radio Noise Issue

Interestingly enough, the noise is coming in on the FM band. I like Jay’s idea of a separate 12v battery and a 2p2t switch - just need to find a place for the other battery. Thanks for all your suggestions, Nathan -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

[EVDL] Radio Noise Issue

Hello Everyone, I have a Geo Metro that I converted electric and the radio has never been able to pick up more than one station because of all the noise the dc-dc converter outputs. I have been able to verify that the noise is being picked up through the 12 volt input of the radio and not through

Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences about the EV1. I was glad to hear from Lawrence that there are still a few EV1s still around. In my opinion, it is VERY suspicious that (except in rare cases) GM only leased the EV1 and never sold it. It's almost like they were planning on crushing
