Potentiometer installation
Zach and I installed the potentiometer on the upper firewall. This will be close to the control box and the controller for wiring. We used the original cable end with a cable clamp. An 'L' bracket was used to keep the cable in place and the adjusting nuts work too.
The ohms read from .3 to 4.7 on both the white and gray wires.
This is a conversion project of a 1993 Honda del Sol to a 144V electric vehicle. This EV is expected to have a maximum speed of 85 MPH and a sustainable speed of 55-65 MPH. Its range should be 60 miles. The onboard chargers can be plugged in to any 110 outlet and charge up the batteries overnight. Currently the total budget including the donor vehicle is $13,500.
'88 Honda Civic Wagon
My first conversion was an '88 Honda civic wagon converted to a 72v system, with a max speed of 45 mph, a range of 18 miles for about $4000
