Swiss Job

In a six hours night shift I was able to fix the front axle.

Serious Problem


The good news is: She made it to Switzerland, driving non stop 188 Km,
 and up to 1200 m height NN (3.937 feet NAP).
But in front of the Hotel I had to drive backwards....and then this happened.(
I am still investigating what really happened. Both steering knuckles bent completely.
First the right and than, because of 600m depth in front of me I had to drive backwards again, and killed the left side.
I tormented her into the garage and hope to fix it before the next job...?!

EV Grid

My 220VDC/AC 3KVA singel phase inverter arrived today.
First surprise, it is 15kg / 33 lbs lighter than described.
Second surprise, it can switch without interference between AC and DC input back and forth(Bypass transfer time ≤4ms).
That allows me to prepare the film light without draining the battery pack.

eDashboard Design 1.1

I have a JLD404 to show the pack voltage, amps and Ah.
I also have a JLD404 to show my motor voltage, amps and watts. Thats new.
The 5740 is showing one battery and will stay until I have another meter to monitor my 13 volt system.

Now two JLD7100 to show the liquid cooling and battery temperature.
And a second JLD404 to show and monitor my Inverter voltage, amps and watts.
I want to have a EU standard 220 volt / 2400 watt AC system, to run a 1,8 kw HMI lamp and some film stuff.
The inverter is ordered and will hopefully arrive in april.

Freezing For Science

With an outside temperature of 2-3°C(about 36°F), I repeated my test drive of 202km and WestWind.
I have not expected to freeze in the car like that....but everything was going good (aside from my legs. It took two hours to thaw them again.)
 First I was driving 100Km (62miles) mostly freeway at 100Km/h (62miles/h).
I used 1,03 Ah/Km from my 70 Calb 180Ah pack. Thats in increase at about 30% because of the low temperature.
On the second part of the test drive I was driving 90Km (56miles) country road. I decrease the max. speed at 80 Km/h (50miles/h). A lot of 70 Km/h (44miles/h). So I came back to my energy consumption and the range I was used to.
This was only for test reasons. An electric car should drive at normal speed at any weather.
It would be nice to test a heated and isolated pack in winter.
Then we could see the power consumption of the battery pack heating against the performance increase of the battery pack.
