Does the Nissan Leaf Gen 1 PDM work with Zombieverter?

Post by rabbitev »

This is my first post on Openinverter, so forgive me if I'm missing something!

I'm planning on converting a 1983 VW Rabbit Convertible using components from a 2012 Nissan Leaf SV. I'm planning on using the entire Leaf stack (motor, inverter, and charger/PDM) and using the Zombieverter as a VCU. I know the Zombie works with the Gen 1 motor (EM61) and inverter, and I know it works with the Gen 2 PDM. But I'm wondering if the Zombie works with the Gen 1 charger/PDM. Has anyone tried this before? I've been struggling to find information online. I'm not sure exactly what the difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 PDM is (or if there even is one). I'd greatly appreciate if someone could help me out!

It works with:

Inverter + Motor - Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3

PDM - Gen1, Gen2

PDM - Gen3 is limited i believe due to changes around the chademo.
