After our last video to hook the Nissan Leaf BMS up to our DIY battery pack for our Electric Porsche 911, I received quite a few questions in the comments asking about the different components i used to do it. I decided to put this video together to go through the parts I used, as well as why I chose them, and give a bit of background about what is going on.

I have probably gone into too much detail, but I hope this video is of some benefit for anyone else trying this sort of EV conversion.

Parts used:

About the control system we're using:
The board I have chosen is the "Open Inverter" logic board with a Nissan Leaf adaptor board. Full details of this open source inverter can be found here:
https://openinverter.org
And the boards are available to purchase through the shop.
The one I am using is:
https://openinverter.org/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=57

There is also a community growing around these and associated boards built on the same architecture and software here.
https://openinverter.org/shop/
I have no association to this other than liking the design and simplicity of the product and I will let you all know how I get on with the boards in future videos.

We do builds and projects with electric motors and on electric vehicles, with a focus on electric car conversions. The automotive world is moving towards electric cars at a great pace, but a lot of these are focussed on the mass market or are very expensive performance vehicles.

We want to see what can be done to create our own performance electric cars using the currently available components. We'll take you through every step of our projects (both successes and failures.)

Please come and join us on this journey.

A note on this channel.
While we try to make these videos as informative as possible, these are not instructions or how to videos. Working with high voltage electrical components is very dangerous and can injure, maim or kill. The same goes for working on cars and motorbikes. If these videos have inspired you to take on an EV project of your own, and we hope they have, we would encourage you to undertake the necessary study, education, training and/or investigations to familiarize yourself with tasks you are undertaking. Thanks for watching and we hope you have enjoyed the video.
