I was flying solo in the shop on Sunday. I got there at about 9 am to finish up the 110 volt system. This actually went pretty well. I simply had to bolt everything together in my junction box and test everything out. It all went together pretty well and…
This was a long day at the shop. It wasn’t much longer than the rest, but since we’re getting so close, it feels like it’s taking forever. The main goal for this weekend was getting the 110 volt system working. This means getting the 72 volt charger installed into the…
Last weekend when I found out that my charger would not work (see 10/04 post for that resolution) I decided to charge the batteries individually with some of the shops quick chargers. This was good and got me the juice to bring it to work last week, but unfortunately it…
This is the company that I bought my electric components from. As you may have read before I had some problems with my battery charger. Over the past couple of months, anytime I had a question I contacted Allen Grover and he would email me back within a few hours…
First I have to say happy birthday to my son Eddie. We love you very much and we always will. Not a day goes by that we don’t all think of you. I showed up to the shop early in the morning to get the expert opinions of some of…

This was a great day! We got to the shop at roughly 9am and got right to work. With the CV shaft fixed and the motor mount completed, it was ready for a test drive. There was plenty that needed to be done first. Before we could take it out…
Last night the old man and I went over to the shop to put in the new CV shaft. It actually went pretty quick, it only took us about an hour. I won’t go into great detail about replacing the CV shaft – if you would like to know more…
Just like the last post, my computer “ate” this whole comment. I will come back and type it out later in greater detail. We spent the day running the rear battery cables and wiring up the whole pack. We attempted to take it for a test drive, when we did…
This was a very long day. I wrote this out once already but my computer decided it didn’t like it. So this version won’t be as detailed as before. Check out the pictures and videos for more information. We spent the better part of the day making room for the…
