Charge like you Volt-to: DIY J1772

DIY Electric Car

If you want all the benefits of this great and robust power standard, google other projects, I skipped all those subtleties and got'r'done! I didn't realize this and spent 10 minutes unsoldering/resoldering. This all went together in about an hour. After that I did the research on the sense line. Here's how you can do it too.

The Plan for the Waiheke EV

DIY Electric Car

after looking it up on google maps, and working out all the distances I'm likely to need to cover, there's really no need for me to have a range of more than 30km. So when EV secrets tells me that a 48v motor can get my car to 50km/h, I think that would be less on a hilly island. So: I think I will design myself a 96v or even a 72v system.
