Well scratch that one then.
So handshakes lined with cash?

What voltage are most ev bikes? 48v? Because if so then that's low voltage anyway.
Also the 12v battery regs are for cars, bikes are a grey area on ev compliancing, so that's another loophole.
And also also what year were the bikes complied vs year the ncop14 was put in effect?

Aren't they exchange? Nissan has to make money somehow and a couple grand for a 24+kwh seems too cheap to be making a profit if it's filled with new cells. So I'd say they are probably 2nd hand cells that have been tested or Nissan are selling the exchange cells for a mint. Also I thought they had b...

Do you have some spec sheets in the cells?

That's brutal

Temperature related? Its been pretty warm in Perth lately.

Also manufacturers would have to make sure everything is reliable for 100's of 1000's of kilometres and crash tests etc. They have to put their name up there next to it and if it bursts into flames and burns a skyscraper down they can't really just say "oops". In terms of cost is basically what's ha...

Sorry, yeah 40kwh.

110kW of power and 320Nm of torque, and equipped with a new 40kWh battery giving it a claimed range of 270km between charging

It's not actually the latest and greatest leaf regardless what the marketing at Nissan Australia say. (the e+ at 60ish kwh is the actual new model)

It's the 40kw and there aren't any real options (I think colour is about it), So 1 flavour and it's $49990 plus on roads.

A little electric forklift could probably be picked up for less than that. Even a walky type might suit.

I'd recommend the black /yellow trace coming from fuse 12 for "ign" because it's fused. Less burning the car to the ground if there is a short.
Everything else on that fuse is being ripped out or was never fitted (except the speed sensor)

I saw this a few months back, similar idea.

Legality aside it's a very good idea.

I assume that means you are keeping the clutch.

I would think in parallel would be the way to go so you aren't making the pump work hard, having to deal with possible hoses popping off/bursting and pumping hot water into a pack you are trying to cool while the first pack is below freezing, Etc If each pack gets a different flow rate because of di...

Re servicing,... You can reasonably do most of it yourself.

I hope so because I service cars at work.
I knew that there wasn't much to an electric car service but I was asking the question for warranty purposes.

And one of the biggest reasons of the lot: 4. Loss of a valuable income stream from servicing and spare parts sales. Not entirely true if they have it their way. I looked at a new leaf a few years back and when I questioned the Nissan dealer about servicing they said it's about the same size as a p...

You could get a pre built 48v lithium pack, like what's used on the electric pushbikes, and put a couple in parallel to get the current/capacity required.
There maybe other

That's a pretty trendy caravan, sort of retro futuristic

Unless you start at the top of a hill with a full charge, regen shouldn't be an issue because the pack should be down enough to be able to absorb it

I shouldn't be (according to my wife) but I'm also a little bit interested in the rav4

Also on the reliability side, it's the 3rd tc charger since 2012 to be fitted to the car since it was converted. I don't know what happened to the old ones

I didn't buy it but the tc charger in my car is new and has the enable/voltage divider stuff, so they are available. Pretty sure it came from ev works

The rules don't specifically cover it. Basically as long as you can stick your finger in it and not get electrocuted you are all good.
So contactors to isolate the pins until something is plugged in.

From ncop14 It must not be possible to remove this key in any position that energises the drive train or makes active driving possible. I read that as the key only has to deactivate the motor, not necessarily high voltage to aircon etc It also means as a minimum you only need 1 contactor. Add more f...

That site is also good for other mitsubishis, not just the imiev
