We be Charging

Image
The EV conversion is basically done now.  Last week I had some problems getting the car to charge but now that's fixed and the car charges perfectly.  With that, all my EV systems are working and there really isn't much more EV-related left to do.

First Car Show

 I took my CSE to its first car show last Saturday.  This was an all-electric gathering called Autopia2099 .  I drove my car in and out of the show but, since it doesn't currently have a windshield, doors, etc., I trailered it and unloaded nearby.  Still, it was great to drive and show off a work in progress to fellow EV enthusiasts.

Tying up Loose Ends

Almost all of the EV conversion work is now done.  A few of the things recently taken care of: On the test drive the brake pedal went to the floor.  This was because the pedal itself rotated on the pivot point.  I thought it was secured at the factory and all pivoting happened at the pivot tube but I was wrong so had to TIG weld the pedal to the pivot.
