1. Are you using the BMS from the Battery Pack? Essentially, did you just take apart the pack and moved the modules to fit in the vehicle?
2. Are you using the Leaf Onboard Charger, Vehicle Control Module or any original modules?
3. Have you modified the 12V System much? It seems like you are doing quite a bit of work to it but wondering how much you are changing.
4. Are you adding Power Steering to it? Not sure how much more the battery adds to the weight and over all feel of the car while driving.
5. Since you are using Mechanical Pedal with Pot, does Regen braking still work on it?
6. Have you considered using the Side Pontoon areas to put some of the Battery Modules?
7. Did you buy the Powertrain new, used, donor/scrap car?
That's about all the questions I have for now... Again, that is awesome and some great stuff man. Seeing this is very motivating!
