I'm also working on this, though I don't have any hardware in my hands yet. This thread may be helpful: https://www.diyelectriccar.com/threads/i-bought-a-tesla-model-s-gen-2-charger-now-what.205675/?post_id=1077664#post-1077664

Your picture did not load. What version of the board is it?

Following gregs info is a very good way to go about it, he even done some youtube videos on it.


Hmm...well, if I can't manage attaching an image, it's not looking good to ...

Please explain what you have setup and purchased, pictures too.


So far I have the Gen 2 Tesla charger, the EVBMW control board and all connectors. I also have the ST-LINK module.
This is the control board:

Hey guys (and gals),
I searched for Tesla Gen 2 Charger but only got results for Gen 3 for some reason...
I have the link from the Openinverter wiki but:

Could someone please point me to a "tell me like I'm a 5yr old" discussion about getting a Gen2 charger up and running at least on the bench.
I ...

Also, Pin 2, "Brake Lights", is that an INPUT or OUTPUT?
On the Zero EV website, it is listed as a ground for brake light control.
In the Tesla Forums, Pin 2 is illustrated as a 12v input from the brake light switch.

Is this the wrong place for questions like this??

I'm into the wiring now. I have a new video on Youtube if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ-DrWKTizc&t=2s

On my Orion2 BMS and need to figure out where to connect the Charge Enable. It's supposed to be used to turn off Regen if the battery is full.
Where on a ZeroEv Large Drive ...

The openinverter board has a brake light input to turn on and/or boost regen while braking.


Ahhh...that's a bummer. So I HAVE to use the brake transducer? I'd rather not have the brake pedal do anything except control the service brakes if possible.

Gotta skip ahead a little so I can ask two quick questions:

1) I got my DU from StealthEV. I do not want to use the brake pressure transmitter at all. The only regen I want is through the pedal. I understand I can reprogram the cruise control input to an ECO input and if I set it (not sure what "it ...

OK, enough of the distractions...let's get back to the conversion!
When I was stationed in England in 2006-2009 I did a restomod of a 1969 Land Rover Series 2a. I basically took the body from the old truck and put it on the chassis of a 90's Defender. It had coil springs, big brakes, turbo diesel ...

Long live Lithium Iron Phosphate!!
So the tree blasted the rear bumper into the rear battery box. The collision was strong enough to rip a hole in the .060 aluminum. One cell was in the direct line of fire. Apart from a superficial dent in the plastic housing, there was no damage at all. I didn't ...

So one of the things that was always in the back of my mind was what's the plan for the Ranger when the Jeep is finished? I can't imagine I'll drive much so it's just going to sit around. It has a lot of good parts that could be used for something else but why take apart a perfectly good conversion ...

Hello everyone. I just found and joined this website yesterday.
It's great to find a collection of tinkerers and innovators that really seem to be doing what they say instead of just saying what they have no idea how to do!
Allow me to introduce you to my project. (This is going to take several ...
