The only person who would know is someone who opened a non DC fast charge version battery pack. But being a plastic piece, maybe they all have it. Later I will use the borescope to peel back the floor of the car and see if this hole exist and where it leads

These are the connectors found under the seat: I meant this part

What about 3? I don't see that place where the equipment would attach. Also the tubing inside the battery, will it be there? I'm starting to think just drive to Canada and buy the whole junked car , lol

There must be a purpose for these, no?

Sandy I was mistaken. I do not have the ventilation for the AC cooling of battery. Seems like the possibility is getting further and further away Yes the car is filthy I know.

These are the connectors found under the seat:

Update: I can clearly see from the passenger side where the vent bypass for the battery would go , but even with a bore scope I could not confirm it is operational. What i did found in my ac ducts where spiderwebs, dust and possibly the origin of COVID-19

You know, having been part of manufacturing for over a decade, particularly in electronics, this makes sense, But also, since this car was built so economically, it may not be the case. Its always a choice isnt it? Choice/ Effect Pro Cons Universal Simple, faster, mass-produced-discounts...

It just occurred to me that the DC model also has battery chilled air cooling from the AC, does the non fast charge have this cooling ability?

Sadly is the same story across many fields.

Thank you all for the help. I will check my car sometime tomorrow to see what is populated under the seat.

Some day, currently very busy summer for me

Disregard this post can double post be deleted?....

I'll let u know, probably by next week, interested in the upgrade. Does anyone know if I take it to the dealership can they fix the VIN issue and reprogram it for me, or will they refuse 3rd party repair/parts?

but the ECU changes the VIN right? well then i will see, If I do the battery upgrade then it would take forever to recharge and i wish to have the HVDC charge option for in case.

Seems some can still be found https://www.digikey.com/short/82d3f4f2

Ok so what is the problem with the ECU that prevents ChaDeMo from working?

So the BMU might need replacement, which will not match the VIN and throw a fault then? then whole drive system might need to be swapped...That sucks. Thanks for the help.

Gary, Thank you for your help and wisdom. Obviously your hands are tied and can't share all with us, but there is many I-Miev owners overseas with the same fault. I'm interested in repairing it, but i can;t send you my controller for repair, too time consuming, costly, etc. Is there any ways...
