First up was removing the rear portion of the exhaust system, shown here next to my trusty 34mpg 1994 Saturn. Someone else converted a '94 Saturn Wagon to an EV, but I'll keep mine!) After removing the exhaust, I slid the engine over on the furniture dolly so all the transmission points were on blocks outside the dolly.

In the familiar gasoline engines of the previous EA111 series, the (‘hot’) exhaust side was at the front, and the engines were mounted with a forward tilt. The advantage is that the exhaust line, driveshafts and gearbox mounting position can be standardized. TSI, an exhaust camshaft adjuster is added.

Under a venture with the motto “From Road to Grid”, Audi is therefore currently working on a concept to convert old batteries into stationary energy stores. The plate has an integrated primary coil and an inverter (AC/AC converter). An AC/DC converter inverts the current, which is then fed into the high-voltage electrical system.
