I am following the work here with great interest. And I thank you very much for the extensive documentation I have/had also planned to use the Prius drive and had also bought the drive. However, I have read that the drive delivers little speed. Unfortunately, high speeds have not yet been achieved ...

We made it! fairly easily mind you, despite the average speed reported of 27 MPH every time I looked down on my satellite speedometer app on my iPhone I was going 40 MPH (I was only semi babying it) there was no freeway driving on this trip, as she still can't go above 52 MPH, but there was no need ...

I continue to be absolutely blown away and impressed by the Zombieverter VCU, the damn thing just works!

You know I had to do it !!!





attached is a basic current vs rpm graph, you can see the current go from negative ie being drawn to positive being shoved back in to the battery

so whilst I await the new Zombie code to bump our top speed currently topping out at only 52 MPH do to some internal current or torque limit, I figured I would tune the Regen back in, which was disabled on purpose cause it was causing the Rabbit to shutter when coming to a stop. now we are working w...

A question on the ZombieVerter please, that you may be able to help with. I would like to use a Prius C transmission in a similar way to what you have done. (Here it is also called, Aqua ) and maybe Yaris. The OI wiki, describes the " Prius gen3/ Auris /Yaris" as being a sync serial optio...

Lessons Learned from an Unseasoned Veteran EV Converter - LLFUVEVC so a time will come when you can spin the wheels on your project, or better yet attempt that first drive, chances are you may hear some noises, drivetrain noises in particular, so before you take that acetylene torch to anything tha...

so a little specs on the motor power: 60 kW (80 hp) torque: 207 Nm (153 lb-ft) Maximum speed: 13,500 rpm maximum operating voltage: 650V just fartin' around with the Killer Whales to Pony Power Conversion in this table (kW / 750 = hp) so can we beat the output of the stock OEM 1.6L diesel engine? kW...

Seems Irish mentality *somehow* got imported to Germany :D Just wondering about venting - obvious for prismatic, but how do pouches vent? Got 1/2 of the VW modules mounted upside down but they are pouches inside of the modules https://i.gifer.com/origin/27/27f97dafa9d651614c9e0e0ca1ac55c1_w200.gif

Just a thought preceded by a question? Could you mount a bmw 330e battery pack upside down? If you could then there might be a cute way of doubling battery capacity!? great question and I recon you can, more smarterer folks can correct me if I am wrong but them cells and electronics don't care whic...

So let's talk charging so I can tell you what you already know so I am getting braverer and braverer as I charge this dinky 2018 BMW 330e PHEV battery pack, which consists of 5 modules and 80 cells (16 cells per module) DISCLOSURE: I happen to have some BMW 530e battery specs for the battery pack co...

here I am just using my iPhone to show some basic virtual gauges: Volts, Amps, and RPM I use the battery pack voltage as a fuel gauge for example 327 volts is 90% charged but that's as high as I am willing to go without BMS and I think I can run it down to like 265 maybe the Amps show me how much cu...
