AEVA Forums

It been a long time since I started this thread but in the last month I finally fixed the problem with the Vectrix. I bit the bullet and changed the motor to my spare. Lucky I got it when I got the bike. Anyway it doesn't happen now. So it was a problem with the encoder. I did check it as described ...

I have had the tortoise a couple of times. First time I was able to drive at least a kilometer in tortoise mode before reaching a charger. The second it went to 0 range then tortoise then stopped in about 100m. That was on hill. Just other day it went to 0 range about 1 km from home with my wife dri...

That isn't so silly an idea as it sounds, as long as you intend to try and stop before reaching them.

There is another guy in brisbane, Danie Rykiert, that has put a second 150AH pack in the back of his Minicab. Not sure if he is an AEVA member. Anyway he has it spliced into the wires to DC wires to the motor controller. He has reported seeing over 200km on the GOM and fast charging of 47kW. This ex...

Does anyone know of an i3 in the wide bay area? My boss expressed interest today, he is a dedicated BMW owner. I thought if there was one in the area it would be good to see it in reallife and talk to an actual owner. As opposed to carsalesman rot.
Daniel.

Seems like a good car. Almost makes me wish I had waited getting mine.

Ok so welding of the terminals makes it difficult and the freight.
What about the Liyuan cells? Aren't we looking at about $11000 for them plus freight?
I will ask at work about how much it would be on their account.

I have been keeping an eye on the battery hookup. They have a complete bmw battery on there at the moment. https://batteryhookup.com/collections/module-madness/products/complete-bmw-32kwh-ev-active-e-battery-96s Aren't these the samsung cells that are the first preference for the battery replacement...

There is some motors that are used on paragliders, they might be the go. Another options is multiples of RC motors. Any idea what power the solo engines are rated for?
Your biggest issue is going to be battery weight, still its possible.

That looks like the lg E63 that Francisco is using.

Yes I am definitely interested.
A thought I had is about how the car counts the Ahs. If it uses a current sensor could you modify/change the current sensor so that the it under reads the current?

Oh really. I was sure it said Manjura WA. Sorry about that. :/

In case some one in WA is interested. https://www.pickles.com.au/damaged-salv ... e.Electric.)
First time I have seen an Ioniq come up. Only 3112km. Owner must be sad...

You could check out what the Open Inverter guys (www.openinverter.org) are doing with the buck/boost converters out of the various toyota hybrid models. I'm not sure but there might be some models where is separate to the inverter.

Thanks for the link to Trev. After looking at it I found a link to an old fully charged episode where they drove it. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5pUIXe--fc Can definitely hear the vectrix motor. Will go do some research and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the info Anitscab. I am not ...

No it won't be on a vectrix. Will do some reading about field orientated control. So it is mostly only used on industrial vfd's? Brief first looks suggests that field orientated control is more efficient, especially at high rpm. Do your standard BLDC or permanent magnet controls just accept that for...

There are hacked versions that can go to 125kmh, but I bricked an mc when I tried to install it. Then in the process of swapping out the mc I blew up the charger. That day really sucked

Ohhh nasty. Ok so the motor itself is capable of 125km/h. Thats good to know. Thanks.

I see it is gone now. Did anyone see what it sold for?

Hi All, I have a spare vectrix motor here and I have been thinking about putting it to use in a kind of custom motorbike project. Having read about Antiscabs 100 000kms and having 4 motor controller failures, I think it would be better to run a different motor controller. Makes me wonder how long I'...

With all this staying at home, I was looking at the spare Vectrix motor I have and thinking.... I could make this into to something. And one piece of information I don't know is how fast could a vectrix motor go. I remember reading something on the net somewhere about people with hacked software get...

Well don't trade it in. Sell it privately, at $8000 it would sell quickly, I reckon.
I would be keen on trying the 93 AH one day, if I had some idea if the car would cope.

Spotted this on Manhiems.

Just saw an Imiev wrecking on gumtree. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/slacks- ... 63436_9299
He has sold most of the stuff but the CHADEMO socket could be left.

So who is the original manufacturer of these cells? The alibaba seller isn't.

Thanks alot everyone. I'll see if I can track down a key from that info.
With a past car the remote locking part of the key was able to be paired with computer even if the key originally belonged to another car.
