I have been going over my plan for the new EV for the past few weeks. I am slowly working on a variation of the EMW open source charger, which I will be posting pictures of shortly once I populate a few PCBs.
While I am building the EMW charger, I am also going to buy a 2.5 KW Elcon to keep steady progress on the EV. I am adding lots of fun features to my charger and it may take some time to get those all working.
For the Civic itself, I need to replace the rear suspension, get a new clutch, and get the lower body rust repaired. As I want this car to last at least 5 to 8 years I am spending some money to get it in perfect condition. Tomorrow I am going to start getting quotes for the body repair and get that done before the conversion starts this summer.
