we have ordered the comtroller (thanks Paul)
and the motor (thanks Netgain)

gas pedal is based on clasic design with cable and an 5k variator


for batteries we plan to use 10 calcium batteries (around 100 EURO)
SLA 75 wich will give is around 100km authonomy
found compatible chargers for 144v list atached (can be used as guide for our charger)
different batteries and chargers brochure atached including cheap calclium batteries

progress

DONE
signal lamps are now leds

original lamp was using 25w lamps
led lamps use 7 12v leds 0.6W all (0.047A measured for the 7 leds)
price 10USD / Lamp

TODO
building signaling circiut because old relay will not work due to low current


UPDATE

i have found and ordered 100x150 cm of fotovoltaic cells for roof
200 USD for all
will see the test for performance
from diagram each cell is 36v/7A


rear lapmps conversion
will follow shortly

[jerpelea]

work started to rear lights

but unforunately stoped for 1 week

i need more leds
for now only rear light is working
calculated cost 30 USD/lamp block

tests
rear light 100 mA (0.1A)
original light bulb 21W

rear signal light 100 mA (0.1A)
original light bulb 21W

rear brake/position 100mA+50mA (150ma)
original light bulb 21W/5W

[jerpelea]

new signal relay is ready
original diagram was published on tehniq
i have modified it for our needs


biggest current is 50mA x4 when all 4 lamps are lit
so max current must be arroud 200 mA
i took 1A to be shure so for command i used an BD237
Q1=Q2=BC171
Q3=Q4=Q5=BD237

and also i have atached my simplified diagram

price for simplified diagram 3USD

[jerpelea]

solar pannel has arrived

36v 7A on load (252W real/250W rated) so i will need an dc2dc conv for 144v

dimendions 1000x1500x5 mm
price 200USD

will replace car roof and blend into the car


update
i will change the
36v 7A on load (252W real/250W rated)
dimendions 1000x1500x5 mm
with
36v 5A on load (180W real/180W rated)
dimendions 900x1100x5 mm
price 180USD
because the big one cant fit on the top of the car
and add an new one on the hood later

now being disasembled and cleaned for rust


after some searches for electrical part we need
1.dc-dc converter 36-144v (500W)
2.ac-dc converter for 110/128v generator (5Kw)

so we need to buy/build them

i have found an drawing of what i want it to look
(bumpers and dors )
