[Caevlist] Leaf 24 kWh to 40 kWh Swap happening soonish

[Otmar Ebenhoech]

Hello EV friends! 

Ken Vandehey of our group has arranged to get a 40 kWh battery from a 2018 wreck from B&R with plans to swap into his 2012 LEAF. Yay for a massive range upgrade! 

Once we pick up the pack, possibly in the next few days, we’ll wire up an adaptor cable and use LEAF-Spy to read BMS data before putting it in the car. 
I’m clearing space in my shop so we can do the swap here on the lift.
We’ve got the CAN Bridge board from China that accepts open source code from Dala to allow the car to accept the battery, and we have watched a lot of videos. Looks like it shouldn’t be too hard. Fingers crossed.

Does anyone have interest in being around while we work on it to see what’s involved? 
If so we can plan a day and call a gathering around it.
