Is there any information about the ESS? Max Range? SOC now? Bricked?

1979 Corvette 100% original. 1- owner, 1- driver, 32k miles. Before the electric bug it me.

I finally got around to installing the the JdeMO kit on my Roadster 2.0. Charging at a Nissan dealer. Thanks Bob Rorhman Charging on the Illinois Tollway

The standard radio in 1.5 and 2.0 Roadsters was a Blaupunkt unit. The upgrade was a JVC NX-5000 with Nav.

ravng you will need 2 female and 1 male connector along with the specific pins for each connector. I used Mouser Electronics there was NO Minimum order for these parts. BTW: you will only need a Y-cable if you want to connect OVMS and JdeMO to the DIAG port together.

Mark, unfortunately the OVMS screen did not video well in the bright sunlight. However i can tell you that having OVMS available during my charging sessions was invaluable. The ability to monitor the pack temperature during charging definitely eliminated any concerns I had with overheating. OVMS...

I did not record temperature for this charge session. Previous tests resulted in a 5-6 degree Celsius increase during a 30 minute session. Ambient temp was 15 C, cell temperatures never went beyond 30 C.

The the amperage was beginning to decrease as the battery reached >60% (standard rate). Near the end of my 45 minute charge the amperage had decreased from 120 to...

I can answer that for Tony. The charge inlet will be behind a"flip-up" license plate. We don't have a photo yet, more details soon.

Thanks m0rph I see the area were the snow gets in. The "undertrays" on my 1.5 and early VIN 2.0 are metal. Maybe not aluminum but definitely NOT plastic.
