    I have a Thunderstruck VCU reading(serial login through laptop to show system messages) low voltage from a 2015 Nissan Leaf inverter. The precharge circuit is working and the voltage read is what it should be via multimeter at the terminals. When I adjust the precharge minimum to 0(zero) in the...

    I've been very interested in doing a simple EV swap recently, and I think I have a pretty good technical idea of the basics of what systems I want to use. Unfortunately, I know nothing about how compatibility works in these systems so I wanted to check- would it be feasible to take the motor...

    Hi all, joined this forum recently for further guidance on my beetle conversion and wanted to introduce the project. Starting in August 2022, I got a 1969 Beetle that needed restoring and as of March 2023 I got my 2017 Nissan leaf donor car. Since then I’ve focused less on the restoration of the...

    Hello forums! My name is Ben, and I am in the early (read: learning!) stages of a project to convert a Volvo 122 Wagon (1966) to electric. I have worked on and brought back from the dead multiple vintage Volvos, so I have experience there, and I have had a few Nissan Leafs as well. Whenever I...

    Hello good people! My son and I are going down the path of converting my 1978 Triumph Spitfire to an EV. We got a hold of a 2014 Nissan Leaf as the donor. Our “plan A” is to use the components of the Leaf and not get “fancy” with swapping out components (like, we’ll keep the full battery packs...

    Long time listener, first time caller. :-) I'm in the EARLY stages of thinking through a conversion of my loved Triumph TR4a. I've been driving electric since 2015 with my first electric being a leased Fiat 500e. A second 500e was bought in 2018 when the first's lease termed. I've also acquired...

    I am wondering if anyone knows the wiring on the Leaf drive selector? It has 10 of 12 pins in connector filled. I'd really like to reuse it in Miata1EV! I imagine there is a 12v switched supply and a ground wire. It uses fairly unique switches for D, N, and R, and probably a momentary switch...

    Hello guys I am working on running a 2015 Leaf system outside the car, basically running the drive system and necessary electronics on a bench. I was asking some technicians around about the project and they are all claiming that I need a complete car or a front cut at least as all the parts...

    Hey all, I have a 2012 Leaf which I’ve upgraded to a 40kwh battery. My next task is to attempt to upgrade the 3.3kw obc to something a bit more powerful, perhaps to 6.6, or even more the better. Looking at some different options including Brusa options which seem to be the most well documented...

    I bought this 2015 leaf at auction and imported it to Canada. It rolls with the exception of the front pax wheel and will need to be trailered or parted out. I purchased it to do an EV conversion and now I'm not sure if I want to go down that path. It does not have fast charge (on purpose) and...

    Aloha DIYers! I've been thinking about EV conversions for a while, and now I've finally jumped in. Yes, I'm in Hawaii, shipping is crazy expensive, and so I'm trying to source from junkyards as much as possible for my first go at this. I have some basic tools and backyard, no lift or mechanic's...

    It's been a slow moving project, but making enough progress now to post an update. When I joined the forum I was looking for a tractor to convert using a salvage '15 leaf I bought (see my initial posting). Since then, I bought a 1964 Oliver 1800 with a seized engine to be the recipient. I...

    I've started collecting the components to convert a tractor. So far I have a salvaged 2015 leaf, and have my eye on some old tractors at auction that I think might be simple conversions. Hoping to get an Oliver 88, or 1550. We own two other leaf's (2015 and 2021). It will be fun to dig into...

    Hi, for a solar boat project, I'm considering adding two heater / A/C systems from two Nissan Leafs, since I may use the drive system from those as well. Has anyone tried / documented getting the heater / A/C to work outside of the car? It's probably the cheapest heatpump based heater one...

    I picked up a bashed-in 2014 Leaf at a salvage auction to transplant into a '79 Superbeetle convertible that we've had. The Leaf has 78k miles with a lot of front-end damage, but it moves on its own, and was delivered to my driveway for about $4500 for the car, auction fees, and shipping...
