Open Source Civic EV Kit

APRIL 18, 2008

I thought I would take the afternoon to see if I could draw some battery boxes with Google Sketchup. These are modeled after the boxes from the Porsche 914 EV I converted awhile ago with a kit from Electro Automotive. I plan on adding lids with battery hold-downs in them just like the Electro Auto ones.

The Detroit News Autos Insider column today is reporting on Congressional efforts to promote plug-in hybrids and the backlash from the automakers. Neither CARB incentives nor the efforts of Plug-in Partners have moved the auto makers to produce plug-in hybrids, so conversion efforts are moving along.

We Promote PHEV Conversion Programs: First CalCars in 2004, then a number of aftermarket companies, have converted over 200 cars — at first most were for fleets, but more and more are going to individual owners. Drivers of converted cars have received high levels of cooperation from dealer service departments so far.

Porsche 914 EV Conversion

JANUARY 28, 2008

I lost much sleep last night obsessing about how I could fix the DC-DC converter and, as a result, I was very tired and had an irritable day. I find out this morning from Ross Cunniff (who also recently completed the 914 AC kit), that he has had ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS with his CCPower DC-DC converter.
