Unfortunately, we ended up losing this vehicle. Long story short, chalk it up to government bureaucracy. All I'm gonna say about it. We found this truck on Craigslist for $2000. It has a Zivan charger, but we are trying to get our hands on an original paddle charger. The big challenge right now is finding batteries that will fit in the box and work with the existing BMS. |
