Replacing some Rubber and an Interim Battery
As spring gave way to summer, I started to prioritize getting this Electr02 rolling. My first trips on the car involved using the existing battery and equipment as it was purchased.

For most of the Electr02's life, it was driven without a BMS, so cell voltages varied enough during use and charging to be suboptimal, maybe long enough to stress some of t
Chasing Leaks and Tuning Idle

The trip also gave me an opportunity to meet the builder of the car and underst
