Wiring

The controller would not fit in the planned location so displaced one of the front batteries which was relocated to a rack in front of the right wheel. This turned out pretty well since I needed to repair that rust hole anyway.

An emergency disconnect was mounted below the rear front rack. An all-thread rod in the passenger compartment is used to pull it open. This kept with the design goal of having no pack voltage in the passenger compartment.

A voltage prescaler and DC/DC converter needed to be added to the Link 10 E-meter. The maximum input voltage for the link 10 is 50V, so the pack voltage needed to be reduced before entering the meter.

Since I had to relocate the engine compartment fuse box, I also took the liberty to remove some unused wires. This include removing the ECM and harness as well as many other unused circuits.

The battery charger was trial fitted to a plywood sheet in the hatch. This is not the final location of the charger since it’s too close to the batteries and their venting gasses.
