Re: [EVDL] Advice on new battery pack

If your controller and charger can go up to 130V then use all 48 modules in 3 strings of 16. I typically stop charging the Leaf pack at around 390-395V because no cell should go above 4.12V for best longevity. So divide by 3 and you get 130 – 132V max. Cor. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From:

Re: [EVDL] Heat pump vs resistive Heater (never buy another AC unit)

That is why Heat Pump heaters are preferably designed without registers, meaning that they do not blow air. I have always been amazed by how most of USA has forced air blowing around through their house, which I find rather uncomfortable. I am from Europe, where you have radiators under windows

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Fisker's 3D electrode li-ion promises 500Mi EV& 1min recharge

David, In my book charging a 40kWh battery in 1/60th hour (one minute) to 80% means 40 x 0.8 x 60 = 1920 kW, almost 2 Megawatt. Still a pretty large number but not the power consumption of one of the smaller states. Since fueling a gas car can easily take 5 mins, I presume that 400kW of power

Re: [EVDL] [SPAM?] EVLN: 1Pedal e-driving fun& excitement> 2keep ice-head's driver involvement

My 1994 US Electricar truck will come to a full stop under regen only if the road is not flat, it will then continue to creep against the regen braking, since it does not engage the friction brake unless I press the brake pedal. Apparently the Smart Braking System in the Leaf (which is present in

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: 1Pedal e-driving fun& excitement> 2keep ice-head's driver involvement

OK, so Nissan spends a lot of hoopla to say that BMW is right? And BMW is not even the first, they just made it more popular. Many other EVs have experimented with increased regen braking selection. My 1994 US Electricar has the option by switching its "gear stick" to a different "gear" to choose

Re: [EVDL] Leaf recommendations?

d it hard to believe that would make a difference of 100% between cool and warm weather driving. Again, the first question is about the meter: does it include all the aux or is it just traction? Peri -- Original Message ------ From: "Cor van de Water via EV" <ev@lists.evdl.org&

Re: [EVDL] Leaf recommendations?

Peri, If you have tires already well pumped (~45 PSI) and nothing is dragging then I found that tweaking the toe of the front wheels makes a lot of difference in the consumption (mi/kWh) which can easily make a difference of more than 10 miles per charge. My first Leaf had trouble allowing me even

Re: [EVDL] Efficacy of regeneration to charge battery

My current EV (Chevy S10 factory converted by US Electricar) has pretty aggressive regen, depending on the gear selector (the motor is fixed coupled to the wheels, so the gear selector is just a set of switches telling the controller to adjust the drive parameters) What I see when driving through

Re: [EVDL] How the US generates electricity

Note that all those EVs replace gasoline cars and by typically being more efficient as well as partial powered by renewables, mean that the *big picture* is shifting from all-oil to partial renewables by being converted from pure gasoline to electric power. BTW, here in California, I often hear

Re: [EVDL] 85 Year Old Uncle Worked 30+ Years on EV, Needs Help

Paul, The controller may be perfectly fine. If there is no voltage on points L3, L5 and L7 *in reference to traction battery negative* then fuse 3 (15 amps) is blown or a mis-wiring has happened, because only fuse 3 and the key switch are between L3 and battery positive. This discussion list is

Many years ago this truck was converted to EV, using lead-acid. Today it has a 2013 Leaf drivetrain, including the Leaf's front struts but retaining its original rear axle (this always was a front drive truck) The body style is similar to the El Camino, but very light and efficient 2-seater
