Thanks, I know this sounds so stupid but, I can't believe it works and at this rate. Just hit 705 miles traveled on my EV Jeep since 8/26/2024. Shooting for 1k miles in the next week or so. I need new tires....

OH, thanks, go it, I'll do that.

Laughing out loud at that!!! Yes Sir, you did indeed add that to my Jeep-EV lexicon of parts and actions, apropos. I mentioned this on one of those sites, now with Regen, I'll have to add back a Clutch Switch on the stick. I have to interrupt the Regen to get the motor to go into 'Neutral' (EV...

Are you setting up play dates for adults again???

MCA with final MCA Girdle (sans Motor for illustration purposes) Hope that helps give you a better overview. I just flipped through what I posted above, what a crap load of work, I still can't believe I made all this AND that it works and works well - seriously, color me surprised at the...

Mounting (or removing) the MCA (Motor Cradle Assembly)

Motor attached to TAC (Torque Adapter Cover)

Cont' Coupler attached to Motor

Yes Sir: Coupler (I really, really hate this one picture per post thingy you guys have, sucks)

So, shifting, not an easy subject to write about but I'll briefly say this: The clutch has three basic functions: 1. Allow the motor to detach from the drive train to allow the change of gears 2. The flywheel is used to balance the intrinsically unbalanced nature of an ICE set up (inertia) 3...

Obviously, this is an old picture since the battery box is now all aluminum and this is a plywood prototype. So, now the goal is to attach all this up on a single loop - Inverter, all battery modules, pump, small radiator from Derale Cooling. I'll hook all that up this weekend, ore at least...

Oh man, I'm SOOOO glad you chimed in - mostly about your range - we're getting about the same range!! That makes me feel more confidant about my math and overall design - thanks for sharing that. As for cooling; right now, I'm cooling just the Inverter through a Tesla pump (a GREAT and cheap...

500+ Miles traveled in 16 days! Range Update: I try to get in at least 20 - 40 miles each day. Always a combination of surface streets and highway travel. 65 to 75 mph highway is normal and VERY smooth. I charge each time I park back at the garage, you can see the charge times above. Longest...

nevermind - mistake

This Map is worthless. Don't bother replicating it, it's ca-ca.

Time to post the number. Here's my collected data set for Range and Mi/kWh. To summarize, I'm getting about 2.3 miles per kWh or about $0.09 per mile based on what electricity cost me here in Los Angeles. By comparison, my Chevy Bolt is getting a Lifetime of 3.7 mi/kWh but very often we get...

Trite but true, especially here and with this topic - There are NO SUCH THINGS as ignorant questions on this subject. The thing you're doing, which is what we do to 'understand' anything new - we like to equate IT to what we know. The old method of using a water hose as a metaphor for how...

Here is a map from a dingleberry from the DIY EV site that refused to share the rest of his Hunter tweaked profile: I mean it's pretty, I haven't tried to duplicate it yet. He does NOT have a Jeep so I'm not exactly sure it helps any of us, more is better, I guess. Can you post yours...

OH MAN, sorry, I wasn't paying attention to this site for a bit - sorry for the delay in replying! So, here's mine, it's a TOTAL mess and I hate it: I can't seem to get the smooth take off like I want, it's a 'k-chunk' every time and then a bit slow start then, like you said, at a little past...

Quick dusk video - zoom zoom, all this speed and all this quiet - I love the quiet, can't get over it. As you can tell, it's driving is perfect, every thing about this every day makes me happy:
