Very interesting idea! Thanks for sharing the details, something I will be looking into when time permits :D Aerowhatt

Yes some details please . . . that is a great idea! Aerowhatt

No AC on in this scenario right, just ambient air? I disagree with pressing MAX (starting to feel like a broken record). The battery ducting has a lot of flow resistance to it. Using MAX has a marginal effect on the actual volume of the flow to the pack. What it does more of (when running all...

It doesn't seem surprising to me to see "premature" CV joint wear on these cars. If you think about it they get significantly more (and more dramatic) torque changes (if you will) than any ICE. The regen does most of the job of the brakes. If you are in stop and go traffic torque goes from high...

Seems like there are four or five different ways to do it. Some simpler than others. Your idea is reasonable but there is a simpler way (or two) to do it. Aerowhatt

Yes according to the Schematics it's an 80 amp fuse, thanks for the correction. The surge loads you mentioned are going to require some serious battery capacity to hold through without tripping the low voltage threshold on the inverter(s). I'm thinking about 500Ah, "trickle" charged by the...

If one wanted to automate such a park lock it would be pretty straight forward to design and install a simple system that accomplished (NO READY > NO SHIFTY) Aerowhatt

Me too, except for the caveat that we should stick to reasonable "safe" driving modes. Which of course excludes coasting an ICE in neutral with the engine turned off :roll: (I consider coasting in neutral with the ICE engine at Idle both safe and acceptable however, even though most states...

There is no advantage that's for certain. I believe it's an over-site born from perhaps not testing on a slope (crazy as that sounds). Everything I have ever purchased has had an "over-site" or two. Best to find a fool proof work around of my own, rather than look to the manufacturer to address...

Exactamundo . . . less power used by going constant power uphill and loosing some speed. Then coasting, D with light throttle to keep the needle at zero (for sticklers of not driving in N) making up average speed lost uphill and use regen to slow if needed on the downhill side (Tickets are far...

I'll second that! I've tried everything suggested in the forum (and more) to get EvBatMon to connect to my scandisk bluetooth OBD (bought directly from scandisk). Canion works great with it. Connects every time and stays connected until I shut it down. Finally I did a complete uninstall of...

Where I park is totally level and indoors so no issue. If it wasn't this is what I would do; Get myself a set of RV wheel blocks (the kind that are jointed together to fit on either side of a wheel but move together). Add a nice waist high handle so I don't have to bend over to move them. 1...

Everybody has their own way of doing things. So here is mine gleaned from multiple hot weather (90's to 102F) trips to the mountains here. The round trip is between 59 and 73 miles depending on what destination is chosen (50% freeway, 30% highway, 20% winding mountain "highway"). With...

Thinking of me on my birthday . . . Hmmm weird ;) I have not run into Vike. The only other iMiev's I have seen on the road here are my wife's and the one my sons prom dates (just the one date) mom drove. That was a year ago! From a short discussion, she had brought it here from California...

Sweet :lol: Aerowhatt

My previous EV was a motorcycle. Light like a 250 cc bike. It was a production EV out of California which didn't sell and only about 200 were ever produced. They topped the speed at 30 to make it legally a moped. I modified mine right out of the box to top out at 47mph and added an equal...

"It is unclear to me that when the battery pack fan kicks in that simultaneously the aircon turns on and directs air down into that battery pack. Is that the case?" I have not ever witnessed the Battery pack exhaust fan (towards the rear of the car) run except for the case you mentioned...

I find that even with the system pushing max AC into the pack for part if not most of the DCQC (which it does automatically) above certain battery temperatures (I believe the mid 80's F is where it kicks in right at the start of DCQC) the cell temps rise. Even with full AC provided by the system...

It depends on the unit manufacturer but many will reset or clear allowing you to enter your correct code. Once the radio has been disconnected from power for a few hours or more (even a full day) and then powered back up. Aerowhatt
