Jehu Garcia gives us a little update on his VW Transporter Double Conversion

Jehu Garcia gives us a little update on his VW Transporter Double Conversion:



Why is it a Double Conversion ?

Cutting up the windows ...

It was like this originally 

No real chill plate for the Curtis Controller

No battery boxes

Cooling system beginning 

Chill plate from EV West

Chill plate bracket

10kW Charger display: Cool but not easy to access

Jehu would like to put another display here, and fit a Tesla compatible Charge Port too - now that's a good idea, since Jack Rickard from EVtv says it will become the next standard for Charging -

A week later: the cooling system is finished and now cooling the Charger also

Here 3 10kW chargers are used in parallel, which would provide 30kW of Charge Power ...

Now it all depends on what your utility can provide and your home consumer unit

On the road again ... to an Orange County VW Samba Bus Meeting
