Found out something today… the electric bus runs great even in torrential rain… the charger warning light flickered a bit when I drove through a particularly large puddle… mmmm….

But drove a total of 58 miles, with a 3hr recharge (14A/110v) at Nigel’s place… arrived home with the pack reading 140.2v (eeee… that’s a bit too low, 100% DOD not good.)

This experience has spurred me to complete a high speed charging cord, so I can take advantage of handy dryer/welder/range outlets that are within 50ft of a parking spot.

Since there is a wonderful range of different connectors for high power connections I plan to make one long cord and a series of short converter cables.

Bus main inlet is turn lock 2P 3W 30A connector

Welder outlet at shop is 2P 50A looks like a “big plug”

I have an old range cord with a 4P 3W 50A looks similar to the welder but just has another pin.

At work they have a 110v/20A with the turned pin, so that would be handy too to get the 33% faster charge.
