This could eventually have a role comparable to that of the Volkswagen Group’s modular diesel and modular gasoline engine kits (MDB and MOB). (“Baukasten” = German for construction kit). The resulting two-motor system could become part of the MLB evo kit, said Prof. Developed by Prof.

Here's the Iota DLS-45 12V power supply. EVParts.com sells it as a DC-DC converter for many of their electric vehicle conversion kits. It's a bit larger than the CCPower C400 DC-DC converter supplied with the kit, but it still fits in the same space and can be plugged into a 115V AC outlet for charging the accessory battery offline.

Even a sportscar like the Porsche Boxster is 5.1 The XL1 is not a product of any of Volkswagen’s modular Baukästen (assembly kits such as the MQB, MLB or MSB, earlier post ). kWh lithium-ion battery—integrated in the front section of the XL1—supplies the electric motor with 220 volts of electrical energy.

I couldn't find a good solution with the copper bars supplied by ElectroAuto, so I just took my best guess and gave it a shot. A modification of the prior strap is basically what is suggested in the DC kit instructions. I found a funny shaped link in the kit, but could simply not get it to fit anywhere in the system.

I ran out to United Welding Supply today in Portland (on NE MLK) and picked up 20 feet of 2/0 welding cable. They recycle a lot of uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) which often contain high-current Anderson connectors on the dead batteries. FreeGeek also sells laptop power supplies. Parkrose hardware had it for $7.00/foot

Until recently, the four main modular toolkits (modularen Baukästen) of the Group were: the MQB (transverse, driven by the Volkswagen brand); the MLB (longitudinal, driven by the Audi brand); the MSB (standard drive, driven by Porsche); and the NSF (New Small Family).

After studying the AC kit diagrams and reading the motor controller documentation from Azure Dynamics, I think I understand a little better what all these relays and terminal strips are for. Randy, another 914 EV AC kit customer is going to send me a few sketches so I can move things around, if necessary.

Spy the back end at the wrong angle and it could be the lovechild of a Porsche 993 and Ford AU Falcon. Also shared is demand likely outstripping Aussie supply. Safety kit for Australian Ioniq 6’s should match the range-topping Ioniq 5’s. It’s striking in the metal. Distinctive. Challenging.

This version had mounting tabs that fit well with the bolt holes from the original kit. These lines are from Schucks Auto Supply part number PAE312. The newer version is the M series and is even smaller and has no heatsink fins on the sides. The right tab hole lines up with the bolt in the upper right corner of the battery box.

The original kit doesn't use the red light and the green light is simply grounded. Since the indicators on the dash already have one side tied to the 12V supply, I simply used a 2N2222 transistor (buy a pack of them at Radio Shack) to drive the two indicators. The READY/FAULT output signals on the DMOC are unbuffered 3.3V

The kit requires the 12V accessory battery to run the exhaust fans while the car charges overnight, so I altered the circuit to use an external 12V laptop supply instead so I wouldn't drain the accessory battery. Okay, enough for today. Here's my temporary charging setup.

Note: The AC kit instructions don't say what to install the charger tray with. I didn't find this and added my own red wire for the fan that goes back to the upper terminal block to the brown fan-power supply wire. I used one inch 1/4-2o bolts with washers and nylock nuts on the back. Possibly a glitch in the instructions.

In other words, it’s not drawing much more maximum power when plugged in to a charger capable of supplying more than 100kW. Some EVs are known for their acceleration, others (hello Porsche) for their cornering dynamics, and while the Niro won’t steal those headlines, it does all the little important things well. Talking point.

On minor disappointment is that the cable supplied in the kit is #2 gauge cable. I suppose the AC kit doesn't require as much current as the DC kit, but I'll take all the efficiency I can get at this point. He converted his 914 with the Electro Auto DC kit and challenged me to a duel at NEDRA.

Here is the 9-in-1 wire for the AC kit pulled through the grommet between the passenger compartment and the fuel compartment. The instructions call for a "Y" connector which ElectroAuto didn't supply. I finally got to work on the electric car again today. The next major task is wiring up the front compartment.
