While I'm at it...

I just sold my 16 US125XCs last night. They'll have a good home, in another EV conversion up in Vancouver, BC! So now I work on Electro, waiting quite literally for my lithium battery ship to come in.

Since the batteries are out, I am taking the opportunity to improve a number of systems in Electro, such as better battery instrumentation (a fuel gauge device), some more appropriate HV fuses, and finally reinstalling the venting/heater/defrost system, this time as electric!

I kept the heater/AC core from the original cabby, and tonight started pulling it apart. I got the condenser out (or is it evaporator?), and the heater core itself out of the big box. The heater core is like a small radiator inside the car that is responsible for transferring engine heat to the passenger compartment. Mine is tiny - about 10"x6"x2" - and I believe I can replace the original antifreeze-carrying one with a ceramic heater element for a reasonable price. Pics soon!
