If you're talking about a Ford Fusion/Tesla type throttle, they report over two different voltage ranges, and use the difference as a sanity check.

I agree. I'd also be interested in my results - it'll take a while to get there if I try it! I'm a MechE, so this isn't my natural turf.
That's more time to watch back episodes of EVTV (at 1.25 speed on Youtube).

There's a thread, I think on diyelectriccar.com, with a guy who tore an entire Leaf driveline out and figured out how to get it running without the rest of the car, and paring it down to the minimum. No special CAN controller.
