<div dir="ltr">Hey Jacob, nice to have you and your fun projects in the area! <div><br><div>I'm an EE major finishing up my time at LBCC rn.<br><div><br></div><div>Adding CHAdeMO to a Th!nk sounds awesome, and I'd like to hear about how you got it back on the road after it had water damage. I've worked on a number of Th!nks before and I know they are a real pain to do anything to. Good luck with it and hmu if you need any tools, I'm well equipped and don't mind sharing/lending. </div></div></div><div><br></div><div>Send some pics of the progress!</div><div><br></div><div>-Alex</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 4, 2021 at 7:33 PM Jacob Field <<a href="mailto:jacobtimothyfield@gmail.com">jacobtimothyfield@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi All, I'm new around here so I thought I might introduce myself and my EV.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm an electrical and computer engineering student at OSU who recently moved to the area. My EV is a 2011 Think City (factory produced for those not familiar) that was resurrected after someone let water get into the main controller. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I previously had another Think and a 1980 ComutaCar that I semi-restored. I started that project with the ambitious goal of building it a pack from salvaged 18650 cells, got enough to make it move at about 3MPH down a completely flat road, and then switched to salvage 1st-gen Leaf cells, which were enough to get it to around 35MPH tops and maybe 5 miles of range. (Should have been more, but those Leaf cells do not handle lots of current well. I'd use Volt or Tesla modules if I did it again.)</div><div><br></div><div>My current project is adding CHAdeMO fast-charging to my Think. That's progressing well and I believe I'm nearing a successful first charge, but it's also the largest project I've attempted so there are plenty of little bugs to find. I've been documenting progress on an Instagram blog, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/th1nkagain/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/th1nkagain/</a></div><div><br></div><div>It's been neat moving to this area and seeing so many more EVs than where I used to live! <br></div><div>Best, Jacob Field<br></div></div>
