Thanks so much for what you do. Your efforts have made my learning adventure possible. There aren't enough words to express my gratitude. I deeply appreciate your desire to make more knowledgeable humans, and the dedication to open source is inspiring.
This is so damn cool! I followed the forum thread and suddenly, there was a long video to behold! With an actual human in his lab. I just wished this would happen more often.
A bit like pointing a very large welding machine at your charge port. I would suppose the charging will stop fairly quickly after the CP/PP signals are lost though, but it's not as robust as CHAdeMO where the power to the car side contactors comes from the charger.
Yes you’ll absolutely want to add a lock for DC. Loss of pilot or prox should shut down the fast charger within 100ms, but that’s not necessarily going to save you.
On the chargers near me you are instructed to shut the charger down through the app or the screen before unplugging. Would still be a good idea to have a mechanical locking pin.
Shouldn't these have equivalent switching time of the high amperage breakers based on semiconductors that can detect arcing before it happens? The control pin should have plenty of travel to not get even close to arcing.
Thank you.! This is very interesting indeed.. I posted your video on Electric motorcycle builds Facebook group. There are few very expierenced DiY motorcycle builders who have also builds high voltage bikes..
Have t watched he full video yet just wanted to say thanks for making it and do you have any thought on how jumping the 48v generator to an 48v inverter would work or will the onboard inverter not come directly with a standard sin wave inverter?
"I use this old board that I am no longer developing?" Please tell me that isn't the Leaf motor controller? And on a related note: Is buying one of those from your web store an actual good way to support your work down this sort of path? Or is it only just covering costs? About to start the path down a LEAF converted car path and yourwork on getting the motor turning shall be the core of what I do.
I don't believe anyone would object to you earning a few extra Euro from ads on your video. If you put them at the start and end, don't have them in the middle it will cause minimum distraction and you'll earn a couple of hundred euro per month towards the Lanzarote fund .
BMW my be your favorite automaker in the UK. What is showing up in the US from BMW are very over priced ho-hum cars that you never want to buy. Leasing them for 3 years and getting rid of them before the real repair costs start. In the US the repair costs are sky high due to the expensive parts.
Great video, thanks Damien. Must admit I was kinda freaked out by how good the audio was (I've become accustomed and fond of hearing the audio levels rise and fall as you look towards or away from the camera!)

This man is an absolute legend

Damien! Thank you for longest, most technical and cute cat video! You have a big hart to adopt a cat, he is super cute!
No mechanical lock on a CCS connector passing 200-odd amps at 400V...what could possibly go wrong..?

Ge did say he'd be responsible and only use the 50kW charging station for the first tests.

bought a LIM a few days ago when I saw you got AC charging working. Great work!

Great work Damian, I think thats 2 3k in parallel, not series :) I make that mistake all the time, have a great day!
Thanks for all the videos
As far as advertising goes, you can do it the AvE way where you tell the viewers that they should feel free to use adblockers.
The video may be long but it's (late) Saturday afternoon so I've gotten myself a good strong mug of coffee and I'm ready to tough it out.... 😊😊😁
With Nissan announcing going to CCS - I think itbis pretty safe to say Chademo is ded.

It’s NOT a messy desk… it’s a WORKING desk!
Came for the Electronics, stayed for the cat.
I'm disappointed, there was no smoke or melting.......
Why has open source CCS been such an enormous pain in the ass?
Did they intentionally make the standard really hard for non-oems to make?
That and 99% of people not want to collaborate on or contribute to the effort.
@@Evbmw is this another episode of "everyone wants to cook up their own secret sauce solution in house for $$$$"?
Yes
@@Ryukachoo based on the fact that there are 3 or 4 companies off the top of my head that sell CCS kits for around $2000, more than likely
@@dillzilla4454 wait there's more than just zero EV uk? Who else makes kits for diy EV projects?
Cool
Next step making a CCS charger from a stack of Tesla onboard Chargers? :P

Excellent plan with one tiny flaw. My "content" breaches pootube rules on hacking and thus I couldn't monetise even if I wanted to.

i3 was full of potential - then they made it slow
