Recently I managed to buy the technical front of a Peugeot Partner Electric. Traction Électrique pointed me in this direction, and they will assist with the conversion and approval of the drive of the Dyane.
The motor and controls from the Peugeot are from MES, and offer some major advantages to the existing kits on the market:
- High voltage controller, making it possible to have a 250V battery, resulting in lower currents, and more possibility for fast charging (higher voltage means higher charging capacity)
-Recycling: I'm always looking to implement as much as possible a circular economy concept in the car
- a lot of extra HV goodies: cut offs, wire harness,...
-Price: Let's say it is less then half the price of a commercial new kit now available
disadvantage:
-no kit available for connecting to the gearbox, but the price and the availability of the Peugeots make it worthwhile developing this
We are developing this kit, to get this all approved (Dutch approval), in a never ending quest to get the price down for future conversions
