No power factor correction would be my guess. Also hp wouldnt include fans

It might be useful in an AC coupled system, where the aim is to charge the car before letting the Solar charge the house batteries.

Just need to find a red Tesla that's taken one up the rear now

If only a mere mortal could get a hv DC bus inverter.

I've been flirting with the idea of using a vfd with a 600v DC bus as a 3 phase ac coupled inverter. Creating the neutral is my stumbling block

Tesla has L1 connected to L1 and L2. Neutral is connected to neutral and L3. Or close to
That's where the problem is

Between my partner and I Main vehicle is a zoe. Needed to have a good safety rating. Needs more than 200km range and Fast ac charging to allow trips down south. I also wanted temp controlled battery, for longevity. Second vehicle is a vectrix for my commute to and from work. Needed 100km range at 10...

That sounds like the most ridiculous thing ever. I can't see that complying with our consumer laws

Hi Geoff,

Where are you located?

Is it still registered?

What lithium battery is in the bike at present?

Had to 1 up the zoe

Works fine on my zoe

Heaps to choose from that go up to 200 cells

As long as its not right near the entrance. We have enough trouble being iced as it is

Do you have efficiency numbers at that charge rate? I know pf gets pretty bad, I'm just surprised efficiency would drop substantially

Cycle count does a bad job of telling the story of service life. Either extreme of soc wears cells. High charge or discharge rate wears cells. High temp or extremely low temp wears cells.

Splitting the pack in two likely won't help your service life

The battery in my plugin prius was too small, and died prematurely. It is possible, but cost prohibitive sadly. The uts prius I think is for sale second hand. The batteries are getting on a bit. There's been an issue with testing cells similar age to go in as a replacement. As for plug out with the ...

The caps I bought didn't meet spec, 300F instead of 500F, with wide variation and really high internal resistance.

I could retry with larger maxwells, but it's cost prohibitive

You would need to add to the cell groups underneath the car too. That may be challenging to impossible

I misread earlier, I thought you were planning on upgrading it, rather than it already being upgraded.

Make sure you get a wiring diagram off the person who did the upgrade work.

Out of curiosity, did they fit a larger battery? Any other details on what the upgrade entailed?

The only one I saw working properly had two separate packs. The original as is, and a second one external and connected after the battery ecu current sensor. The car just saw the original battery discharging slower.

I'm struggling to find the link though

Is Ross helping with the rebuild?

If you just want to get it home, just flat tow it, in B mode. Use a driver for both cars

Someone got excited with the stickers :0

Top speed would be fairly short lived due to heat buildup. My Vectrix draws 10kw to do 100 -110kmh.

Tricky part is you don't really know until after its built and you've tested it

Sounds like quite the project. I was originally going to suggest grabbing a Honda IMA unit, as that's around 10kw, already integrated, does Regen and has a 144v system voltage. Although that puts the motor on the motor side of the transmission How are you planning on shifting clutchless even with th...

Around 200km at 100kmh

There's a fellow who actually did that, by putting in 3 x Tesla 5.5kwh modules in.
