Twenty years ago I bought this 1987 Toyota Le Van or Space van, started a restoration, got another one for parts, then life got in the way and the little van sat in a driveway or under a carport, in a warehouse or a storage park and now under the lean-to of my newly build workshop. I need to get back into it, I need the space, I could use the vehicle every day.

Tesla Robotaxi just got a big benefit from the U.S. Government, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is looking to ease some rules and streamline the application process that could hinder the development and licensing of autonomous vehicles. Tesla is set to launch its Robotaxi platform in the coming days or weeks, but regulation on autonomous vehicles is incredibly slim, so automakers are left in a strange limbo as permissions to operate are usually up to local jurisdict

I have a couple new Ultium 102kWh packs from a Cadillac Lyriq/GM Blazer and I was wondering if anyone has any info on the wireless BMS system that this is supposed to use. Ideally I would like to try to interface with it as the factory intended but I know the chances of that is really slim and I may have to open it up and install a normal BMS.

Aloha DIYers! I've been thinking about EV conversions for a while, and now I've finally jumped in. Yes, I'm in Hawaii, shipping is crazy expensive, and so I'm trying to source from junkyards as much as possible for my first go at this. I have some basic tools and backyard, no lift or mechanic's tool chest. I've already gotten some of the major components, so I figured it was time to start a thread.

Hey all, Just wanted to share a quick story and maybe help someone else avoid a mistake. I was looking at a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee last week looked great, low miles, clean title (according to the seller). I asked for the VIN and did a free check using NICB. Boom it was flagged as a salvage title from Florida. Seller said he “didn’t know” and then ghosted me.

I want to take these 2.6kw 16s chrysler pacifica battery modules and turn them into modular packs using I think an ANT 8-20s relay bms and a big contactor. The idea being they will be a fully enclosed package with a big positive and negative, along with some simple control level wires. Everything will be isolated so that they can be put in series. So then I can take them and run two in series, or 4 in series parallel, with the idea being they are swappable like a power tool battery.
