If you don't mind answering, how much did your electric 500 end up costing you?
If you don't want to share that's cool, I'm just curious.

I would think mandatory automatic braking as most cars are coming out with now would be the way to go anyway.
Then you aren't relying on someone to hear you. Even an ice car on a noisy street is basically silent

Also, batteries in the cabin get cooked when parked in the sun You would think I would have thought about that seeing as I'm currently battling that exact battle with the cells in my car IMG_20181217_064909.jpg But cardboard and keeping the windows down works. Not very professional looking though...

I was more going for plonking the cells in the back seat and stacking them up inside the cabin.

Could you ditch the rear seat entirely and keep the 4ws, make mounting your cell modules easier too.

Most reviews on hub motors tend to be negative as well. If they live up to their ratings then 10kw a corner would be the same as the original 40kw ice. (I assume it's 10kw peak not continuous, if continuous then you could theoretically push 200kw) However I doubt they'd live up to their ratings with...

You can use just 1 set of scales some blocks and a beam to weigh each corner. It takes longer but is cheaper and you should have all the stuff you need lying around the house

If you could get it through engineering, something like 2 of these may work.

The motors seem to be about 10kw each on the 72v graph.
Don't know how accurate /reliable the specs are.

I'm assuming the permissions have changed because I previously never had the hamburger icon to get to attachments in the member machines area but I do now. I think that may have been the stumbling block for a lot of people.

Getting diff ratios right might be tricky with direct drive. You'll need a larger motor to get the torque and if you then get 2 motors to fill the gap you are going to fast run into weight limits. Any ideas on motors? And what sort of budget? I have a diahatsu sirion that's been converted with a DC ...

Yes, good job! I'm super impressed, especially with your time line.

Or perhaps it popped when the new charger was first powered up

What are you chasing for all the cells? And how many do you have?

Other websites have 11000lbs as the towing capacity so it may well be 5000kg, which is a very big boat

Each 48V 75Ah battery included in the kit can power your mower through up to 2 acres of lawn, or 2 hours of runtime. And to make sure you can get the job completely done, this kit comes with four 75Ah batteries Seems to have an 8 hour run time, if it takes you more than 8 hours to mow your lawn you...

I just googled the thing and this page came up

I thought it was US at first but it's .com.au so I'd say it's aud

Makes more sense. It seems to be actually $3999aud not US as well so even cheaper.

4 x 75ah 48v included. For $3999usd ($5500aud). Seems too cheap to have a mower bolted around it

Sadly I'm the culprit of that abomination of wiring, I rewired the car front to back when I got it. It was always reliable electrically, because I fit a fuse and relay to every circuit and it was all too crowded to be neat.

The National Transportation Commissio has created new vehicle standards for all electric and hydrogen powered vehicles. Vehicles manufactured after 2019 will be required to affix ID labels to their number plates. Link below. This will be up to state transport bodies to implement. https://www.pcc.go...

I read that as being PP(polypropylene) with 50% glass fibre (GF) reinforcing.
That's the code for the plastic that was injected in the mold for the outside case, nothing to do with the capacitor itself



Edit. Not nylon, that's pa6. Also clarification of what I was babbling about

Motor mounts made and it's all bolted in. https://mmdm7a.bn.files.1drv.com/y4mXWECvj3xdquNzEln_H5LU-sEw5a-mdbF_xaqtde0Yzqh261ryeNN91quNYn0JEK6dYZw0r3TsuQyv6WtXBKxOAWkRvyRfNOPmB4BYQQg4ZjLcHiob1b0O9qR7nJgnpIRuUNE1dk9CT5fuHt_KBy3pXPiw0E5BMDHrQ1RIvYkx_u3nrTVnHwXi_4FttX3L1IHjRk7tkmYv0SxzmdyazqzHA?width=3...

You might want to do some research on the precharge contactor as well (get an ohm rating on the coil and find something similar). While my money would be on the resistor failing first it's possible the contacts in the contactor are cactus.

Do you get the cat back in the meantime? Or are they going to hold on to it until the parts come?

Edit: yes I want to know about your cat, not your car. I assume paceway are holding it ransom...

Depending on the batteries it seems a bit rich to me.
Some ball park figures(you can definitely do a lot of these cheaper)
Motor/controller $7500
Charger $1000
Fuses contactors etc $500
Bms $1000
Battery cables $250
Adapter plates, couplers etc $500
Battery boxes?
Cells $500 per kwh
