The ExoLeaf

The ExoLeaf Attempting to make an electric Exocet using Nissan Leaf bits. This could be fun, or fail 😬 This could be fun, or fail. The plan seeeeeems simple enough.

1.

Get Exocet.
2. Get EV bits from a crashed Nissan Leaf.
3. Remove all combustion bits from the Exocet.
4. Install EV bits.
5. Drive over Remutaka Hill. But of course there are some details. Boxes to be ticked include...

* Getting certified for legal road use.
* Putting the batteries somewhere safe (and sensible).
* Not exceeding a gross vehicle mass of 1200kg.
* Installing a speedometer that doesn

't use GPS.
* DC fast charging (CHAdeMO, it's a Leaf after all).
* 230V mains socket output.
* Maybe a windscreen? Be nice if it was finished by the end of summer 2021 - so end of Feb 2022 (this is New Zealand).
