Rough Plan:
1) Convert Truck to Diesel
2) Make sure everything runs right as diesel
3) experiment with bio/diesel and veggie oil
4) Add motor and battery system
5) Aerodynamic cap and other misc. improvements.
6) Figure out the zillion little details of making it all work together.
In all seriousness, this will be a big project that will take a lot of time.
Ideally, for the EV portion, I want an open source: motor controller, charger, BMS, and instrumentation.
I'd also like the charger to run from 110 or 220V and be able to make use of J1772 chargers.
Figuring out things like how to balance a drive-shaft with a motor in it should be fun!
