Hello Everyone,
I have been planning to convert a car to be an EV for quite a while now but when I saw a cheap EV on ebay my heart ruled my head and now I am just embarking on my first project which is recommissioning a Citroen C1 Ev'ie that has been a bit mistreated.
I saw this car that according to the owner "wouldn't charge" and thought "how hard can it be?". Hmmm.
I asked around an a knowledgable chap basically said that he knew the car of old, that it had cost a lot of people a lot of money and that I was better cutting my losses and walking away. The batteries were toast and the motor wouldn't have a long life because of the way a previous owner had mucked about with it.
Well, I'm in now and as I said, I had intended to build an EV and would need a car to convert, BMS, controller etc. and I have all of that so the adventure begins here.
Wish me luck.
Cheers,
Andy.
