Add Video to QuickList Gav's EV Conversion - Step 20 - Bloopers & Cock-Ups
As you can imagine I've caught a fair amount of cock ups and mistakes on film during the 8 months of converting my car to run on electricity. While I may have looked cool, calm and collected on the other 19 conversion videos, this video shows the ugly truth behind "Gav's EV Conversion" It demonstrates just how I earned the nickname Captain Clumsy. :) Warning: There's the occasional expletive in a couple of scenes! If anything, the video's good for a cheap laugh. Cheers! Gav (The song is "Hanging Upside Down" by David Byrne - appropriate I thought)
 
Gav's EV Conversion - Step 19 - Frequently Asked Questions
Now that the conversion's complete I thought I'd tackle all those questions I get through my inbox. The questions answered in this video are the most common I get asked on almost a daily basis by people at supermarkets, on the street or by email. I'm sure many of you have the same questions too, so on with the video! I admit, it's not a terribly exciting video compared to the others, but it's important for anyone using my conversion as a platform for their own. Next video (bloopers & out-takes) coming very soon! Cheers! Gav
 
Gav's EV Conversion - Step 17 - The Charging System
The car's finally ready for the big inspection! After some initial hiccups, my recharging system is now up and running using 13 individual chargers and one 32-pin plug (I'm only using 28 of the pins though). As well as finally getting the charging system going, I've also installed a splash-guard under the motor and installed the ventilation ducting. Everything went well and each battery is charging as it should with no noticeable voltage-drop through the recharging cables either! A car transporter will arrive in a few days to collect the Tredia and take it up to Auckland where I'll meet it for the big test! Let's hope it passes! (I'll need everyone to cross their fingers)
 
Gav's EV Conversion 13 - The Control Panel
With the racks installed and out of the way I was able to create and install the "Control Box" and Curtis 1231C Controller. I started by 'Tetrising' all the components into a metal box I found, and screwed everything down. After that I installed the Controller onto a nice thick plate of aluminium to help remove any heat as apparently they can get hot at times. Then it was a matter of bolting it all down and pre-wiring everything ready for the batteries. I even installed the cool Kill-Switch with a choke cable from an old Mini! Progress is roaring along. My batteries have been ordered and should be installed within a fortnight with luck. The ETA for completion is most likely January-ish! Watch this space! You can check out all the latest news at www.KiwiEV.com too and as always I welcome your comments and tips!
 
Gav's EV Conversion 12 - Installing the Battery Racks
At last! The battery racks are in! After a some battery choice problems, some battery rack sizing problems and a few delays I've finally got all three racks installed. It took a while and there was many a stressed moment but at last the racks are complete. The rear rack is bolted into the floor with 5mm thick steel bar underneath to hold it in place. The front racks are welded to the chassis (not the sub frame) to ensure the crumple zones remain... well, crumpley in an accident. :) Now it's time to get the control-box and Curtis Controller wired up and visit the bank for the batteries. It's full speed ahead! The conversion will be complete in no time! Feel free to check out the progress in more detail at KiwiEV.com!
