Lol... Gas

View attachment 2196766

Even Better... What to put under the seat now? Maybe something that smells like oil or gas? Fuel port to be converted to Charge port shortly......

Can I buy it yet ?

Hmmmm.... Jerry McQuire line coming to mind.

Vintage Air is working with us in-shop in LA to integrate their systems into our EV systems. Stoked to have them in for three days from Texas. This rig is going to be a mobile electric refrigerator! Electric compressor and several challenges and engineering solutions in the works with an outcome that aims to provide seamless integration of HVAC into EV Eco-systems...

Driving Electric Refrigerator! Vintage Air has dedicated lots of engineering effort to ensure their system is seamless with GTe-Systems!

And these too are going in.

Drove a few miles at 35% power and it felt OEM slow..... Looking forward to next week. Imagine what tech mods are needed for the projects Dakota Digital gauge....hmmm.... Oil Fail! RPM works great, message center opps, pack voltage, SOC, motor temps...... Amps & regen...

Do you have a separate motor to run the A/C or do you idle the drive unit?

I looked on you web page and didn't find anything.
Also looked at Vintage air.

Quick AC tech summary pending️

 

[ElectricGT]

27cc orbital scroll compressor. 110-200v. Permanent magnet brushless DC motor. Integral inverter/controller. 9 Nm in torque to produce 15700BTU/hr output at 6000 rpm. 76 dB'. Control cable uses 12v input, a 12v enable signal, and a 12v 400Hz PWM signal to vary the speed (and cooling power) between 1000 and 6000 rpm. 6.3 kilograms. 134a

System is not available YET, and VA is working with us to develop a control solution. There are some engineering solutions in the works for the EV integration. Working well.. a few things to address to iron out flawless operation... Was pulling about 2kW on max of the HV battery.

Topping off.

 

[Heckraiser]

tesla charger plugged into Duosida charger?

I've had both of those

 

[ElectricGT]

Shockingly fast and a hell of a cowboy ride!

[ElectricGT]

Some good alien sightings

Forgot to mention that after a small effort we updated www.electricgt.com .... Not sure which is the harder build

 

[ElectricGT]

Ticking off punch list items and refining systems... Certainly getting ready soon to get out for a fun day of getting the truck dirty...... Not a fast start by any means but it sure has snappy pick up as it straightens out.... More video and tech coming... BTW... will opening up DIY systems along with 3 prospective configurations reaching down in the mid 20k range....

Have been watching this one for a while - great work!! Will the DIY systems be adaptable for a 60 series?

Vintage Air goes the distance for EV integration of classic vehicle HVAC systems.
