Hi all - putting up on behalf of the Melbourne Uni EV racing team. New, approximately 120 x unused A123 AMP20 pouch cells.

And G'day back Mick! Sorry about the slow reply: I rarely get to 'lounge'! (Been busy with EV events in Vic for last 5 or 6 weeks now!) EV conversions are fun - just do your sums (EV conversions are around high 20's for a good DC conversion and low 30's for an AC - plus any body etc resto work for a...

I have the electrical drawings for the Mark 5: pm me your email & I'll send them. Cheers Bryce Hi Bryce, Sorry I just worked out it is a MK6 blade as it has the TM4 motor up front. Hi Tim - you should be able to PM me - will look into why not! With all those different parts - suspect the Mk5 diagra...

Hi Charles - so long as you are an electrician to be able to safely (and legally) build and hard-wire a home built EVSE, or get an electrician to put a separate circuit and socket outlet (i.e. with circuit breaker at the board) so you can plug in the EVSE you build, or have a electrician mate who is...

Hi Bill - re EVSEs - have just written an article for ReNew to help homeowners get up to speed with what is/isn't possible re EVSE choices to better inform them before calling in the electrician. Should be in newsagents (or in your letterbox if you subscribe) in next few days.

FYI: I have a 2011 Leaf (16 came in for Vic EV trial and were sold off after) so no-go to import one - but just having that series oficially imported negates bringing them in privately, no matter which year. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. Bryce

And 3 more. (There has to be an easier way!)
And that's all from me. Anyone got anything from the talks?

Bryce

And 3 more ...

Seems I can only add 3 at a time. Here's 3 more:

Here's some. (Been a bit worn out after it to remember to do this. Sorry!)

Ditto on the Wow! - that will be a fun conversion. Will also go better than the original - which I can assure you won't be hard!!! Being a Renault Car Club member, I at least know what they are. :-) Do you have contacts for the Floride bits you might need? If not, I recommend Aussiefrogs forums as a...
