Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Happy new year! I'm starting 2021 by installing a new EVSE into my workshop. I ran 6mm^2 cabling to the EVSE, but my main fuse is 3x25A, so I am limiting the EVSE to 3x16A (11kW). If I ever bump up my main fuses to 35A, I can simply set the EVSE to 22kW!

Re: Dala's EVNX

Parts are being purchased! In this episode I show what my usual approach is when it comes to finding salvage yard bits and pieces!

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So I made a video recently that ties into the prices on the salvage Nissan Leaf battery market, and how much I suck at managing a business. Anyone curios about what it truly costs to upgrade an EV should watch this.

Re: Dala's EVNX

Short history about the NX shell, along with some progress on cleaning up the remnants after the ICE :)

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So I think this takes the record for the most boring youtube video ever released. 52minutes of me trying to figure out some CAN-data reverse engineering. Please do not watch this, you will go insane from the boredom. Or do watch it, I'm not the police :)

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Yesterday I mounted a 100W LED bar on the Leaf, and made a quick video on the installation process. Wish I'd done this sooner, such an awesome result!

Dala's EVNX

Original thread from 2018: https://secondlifestorage.com/showthread.php?tid=4577 I've done some thinking, and I'm leaning towards kickstarting this build again. With my newfound EV skills, I feel like I'm in a position where I could build a proper EV conversion. The build would ofcourse be linked to...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So I created a step-by-step video for anyone looking for how to install a CAN-bridge on their ZE0 Nissan Leaf. Quite a boring video, but oh so helpful if you are on the fence about your capabilities to do a battery upgrade / LeafEnhancer install

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So I did another maintenance item on my older Leaf, that I already had done on my newer. The reduction gear ATF replacement. This time I decided to record the process, and make a quick DIY video that'll hopefully help someone looking to do the same.

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

I read through this thread with so much excitement. When I got to the end, I had to register to say thanks and ask if your custom CAN bridge would allow a clean upgrade of a 2012 SL (higher trim with telematics, etc) to a 40kWh battery? I live in Canada, and a local EV mechanic has sourced a 40kWh ...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

I did some upgrades to my 3d-printer, one of them being a new buildplate. With this, the parts end up looking way more professional. With the powercoated buildplate they get a very nice texture that hides the lines often visible on flat pieces that lay against the bed. https://i.imgur.com/FEsugaF.jp...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So here it is. Extreme Budget Battery Upgrade. This time my company car, the ZE0 Leaf, gets a 2017 AZE0 30kWh batterypack. This video is not a complete step-by-step video, (there are already great videos on this subject, see EVs Enhanced video for instance) but this video will give you the basic inf...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Here is something I've been thinking about for a while, and finally made it. If you like hypermiling, you're in for a good one :D

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

One of the 40kwhr salvage packs I saw when I got my 62kwhr pack had one on each side of the rear stack. One was knocked off and became a souvenir. I think that is an engineering test battery pack picture, I don't know why it would be on a production pack. The port is a spring loaded rubber seal pre...
