Very impressive... Can't wait to see it finished. BTW what LED tail lights are those?

Slowly but surely...

Otherwise, over the past week(s) I have just been busy with school.
I have managed to:
- Get some work done on the charger
- Make a new cell punch
- Practically punch + prepare all cells
- Found fish paper substitute (plastic phenolic sheets)
- Tested each module on computer using Powerlab 6
- Completed one wiring harness for the BMS (so many wires holy)
- Got started on building motor coupler. Decided against water jet, too much money! Making it myself instead. Switched to 1/2" plate as well.
- Fused EVERYTHING
- Re installed dash + wiring
- Wired start + ignition to ebox
- Mounted Ebox mid car



Lots left to do, but its getting there! Each battery module requires 12 small copper bus bars and 5 big bars. Each small bar requires about 5 minutes of time, and each large bus bar requires about 8. Putting the a module together requires about 1.5 hours, and the process of unpackaging, peeling tape, removing adhesive, punching, and finally taping a cell takes about 5 minutes per individual cell. 24 cells per module. So about 5 hours per module.

6 are done at the time of this writing, so approximately 120v of power! Getting close.

This is such a cool project to follow. How are you testing all these additions as you add them?

Excellent work, and congrats on the TEDx event. I am actually a student at Embry-Riddle and I can say your knowledge far surpasses anyone here. Can't wait to see everything complete.
