Hello everyone! I'm converting my good old VW Passat B4 to EV and wanted to share my progress. I bought this car a long time ago and quickly fell in love with this awesome vehicle. Besides transition to electric power, my goal here is to keep all car systems in working condition. Starting from the power steering, power-assisted brakes, air conditioner and so on... So, "Why Passat"? Firstly, everything in this car is really well done. It has a quite advanced configuration for its years. Air conditioner, heated seats, airbags, ABS, it has practically everything you need. At the same time, this car is quite simple. It doesn't have a central computer, so it'll be relatively easy to make all these systems work. Of course, there will be some challenges, but nothing too complicated. Main components - Battery pack - 2P26S, 200Ah NMC ~20kWh - An asynchronous motor with the copper rotor - Curtis 1238 controller 84V 550A - Flatpack2 charger - BMS A1109 + A11039G2 Plans for the future So, going forward my plan is to ensure stability and operability of all standard vehicle systems like power steering, power assisted brakes, air conditioning, ABS, etc. Here's my first test drive video: P.S. English captions available Let me know what you think. Thanks! Yuriy
