Honda Civic EV Update

A week ago, we received 36 TS-100 (100Ahr) Thundersky Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, 33 to go into the Civic (with 3 spares). While we've been waiting for them, we've also been prepping the controller and motor to go in, including modifying the adapter plate to connect the AC motor to the transmission and clutch. With all the key pieces coming together, we've managed to mount the first components into the car and even made the wheels spin up! Now we're fine-tuning the hundreds of parameters on the controller, prepping the battery pack to actually be installed inside the vehicle, and getting the battery management system set up so that we properly instrument the pack. Once all that's done, we'll be ready to take the car out for its first trip as an EV!
After we've put the car through its paces, we'll pull it back into the garage to do some more work on it. We're still working to figure out the final battery configuration, what the user controls will look like, and what vehicle sensors we need in order to use the Civic as a scientific platform.
This is an exciting time for the garage! Come stop by to check out everything we've got going on!
