Is it possible? There's an awful lot of space back there. I have a source for surplus 28S modules.. Up to 20kwh. I was going to use them in a motorcycle.. But this could have more utility. I also already have two 15kW controllers which are happy at 5kW continuous.
Why? Well the advantages could be:
-add range without fussing with factory hv system
-add regen capability
-ability to save leaf pack for highway use
-30kW boost up to 40-50mph
-redundant
-lets you take lead pack down all the way to turtle if needed
I want to build a CAN interface that simply and reliably triggers high or low for each brake and throttle status. Brake would be easier because I would just set it to do full regen for any brake pedal movement. throttle could be fed to a micro controller and remapped proportional to leaf power or I could add a joystick just for rwd throttle.
Also could tie the regen using relays via the brake light similar to how Plugless interfaces(which I own)
Technically don't need CAN but it would be cleaner.
Lastly? How do I get a sprocket on the rear wheel? Is friction drive the only option?
