Today has been an interesting day. We went and had a look at a Seat Ibiza electric vehicle which is in the final stages. It has an Impulse9 (slightly smaller brother to the Warp9) by Netgain, a 1000Amp Logisystems/Netgain controller, Zivan charger, 120V of Thundersky 160Ah lithium batteries with EVWorks BMS. It has no clutch, has crash inertia switch, circuit breaker with emergency disconnect and fuses as backup. It is a 4 seater but may be a 3 seater depending on weight. It has power steering AND airconditioning. As you can see by the photos the workmanship under the bonnet looks very, very good.
We went for a quick zip around the block and I couldn't believe how much torque it had. Unlike the Curtiss controllers it was quieter than a church mouse, when we got out of the car Connor said it was just soooo cool and can't wait to get the X7 on the road. Seeing this car has given us that extra boost and confidence in what we are trying to achieve. When Steve started the project he approached me to sling a few ideas around but really I learnt way more off him as he has done some thorough research via talking to people who have real experience in converting an EV and indepth internet searches. It was through our discussions that I decided to go for the Logisystems controller, Iota DC/DC converter, Zivan battery charger, opting for an aluminium batt box in the front and he put me on to Google Sketch which has been handy. Thanks for your help Steve and I hope the car does well for you. It certainly looks good!

Wow, what an exciting day you had! The Seat Ibiza electric vehicle sounds like a fascinating project that's nearing its completion. The combination of the Impulse9 from Netgain, the Logisystems/Netgain controller, Zivan charger, Thundersky lithium batteries with EVWorks BMS, and all those safety features really make it stand out. On another note, if anyone's looking to get rid of unwanted old vehicles, especially in the Gold Coast area, there's a service for that - unwanted old cash for scrap cars Gold Coast. This could be a fantastic way to not only clear up space but also contribute to recycling and environmental sustainability.
