Just posted this on the other site, thought you guys might like to see it also: Here's my gearing and final output info. In general, you can drive all day without shifting out of 3rd. It drives about as peppy as a stock Jeep off the line (meaning nothing to write home about). BUT, still in 3rd...

Slipped in a quick video right at dusk. So torquey.

SO MUCH STUPID engineering, every stupid second of the day, made my head hurt! It got so bad, I was solving design problems in my sleep... Yes, all those rattles and creaks and squeaks, all previously hidden away from your ears by the never ending engine bay racket (and of course, the ever...

Your reply is humbling and kind - thank you very much. I'm a religious trial-and-error kinda' guy - look at the problem, stare at the problem, fake it with whatever you have - cardboard, 1/8" plywood, blue tape, stare at it HARDER, adjust, adjust, adjust, make a version - revise, make another...

@timo439 - Tim, I just finished reading through your original build posts in this thread. I'm blown away how we both came to basically the same overall design without comparing notes or knowing each other!! AND, I know I'm late here but, your build is great! It's so funny how similar they are...

No, too much for this job BUT, I've looked into that before - VERY cool tech. I want it but need to do an important upgrade to my electric panel, it's stuck in 1946, maxed out and always ready to burst into flames at any moment. As for portable monitering, I can do most of it, I think. I'm not...

Ready for this horseshit - Enel X Way USA, the company that makes the JuiceBox (or at least it's software) is going out of business (at least in this section of their business)! I use a JuiceBox at my house to charge and their app to get the data to plug into my spreadsheet. As of Oct 11, all...

Range update: I don't think I could be any happier with these results and I'm almost at 1k miles in under 1 month of driving almost every single day. SPM is the ONLY way to fly. I get better range off-road and surface streets then highway - the exact opposite of ICE motors. Finally, a driving...

Exactly, it makes for an entirely different Jeep driving experience. I haven't done ANY trail or even a single mile of off-road yet, I can't wait to see how it works out in the dirt.

@timo439 , what kind of range are you seeing from your build?

Oh god no, I take ZERO offense whatsoever, no worries there my EV Brother. So what happens when you are cruising to a stop, Regen doing it's thing, you just put the clutch in and shift? I guess the real question is, did you hook up K1-7 to your clutch peddle - I'm assuming that's right? SPM...

Quick video showing the Single Peddle Mode with Full Regen A little bit of clutchless shifting also.

Really - I am surprised. I fully understand and agree with the obvious benefits but sooo many in the EV world think shifting is stupid and not practical. All that being said, I have a new system design that I can't find anyone else even talking about much less implementing. No clutch...

...and after I charged it - stats: That's right, knocking on the door of 3mi/kWh - WHAT?!?!

Super quick update on the Stick Switch Single Peddle Mode (incorporating Regen): It's AMAZING! Told you it was a quick update.
