Making new battery and Making Kangoo ZE Immortal

You are ev heros

5:42 The laser gun is back!😁✌️ Great project! You are EV kings! 👌💪

[@nathansuss]

Awesome, good job, very stupid that the government isn't allowing more modification and repair to old battery cars, absolutely ridiculous

[@StarkStromer]

People who don't know make stupid decisions. In germany, some local government decided to prohibit ev's in parking garages. They told it's fire protection. But to me, it seems to be EV hater with decision rights Playing around with batteries is short cut with fire risc and dangerous voltage > 50v as well. So it should be allowed to trained people, but not prohibited at all.

[@alanmay7929]

the problem isnt allowing repairs but its actually making sure that those modifications are done properly and batteries can be very dangerous you know that well! the nissan leaf like this Renault was not designed with proper cooling/heating so replacing the battery cells with different ones without adding any AC system is actually dangerous tbh!

[@alanmay7929]

@@StarkStromer concerning battery fires the problem is putting them out is a totally different level compared to an ICE, they dont make laws just like that!

[@alanmay7929]

@@StarkStromer i would have liked to see some proper battery temperature managment here like a liquid cooled ones in modern evs.

[@StarkStromer]

@alanmay7929 the BMS contolls the temperature, it's just throttling down 😀 You can put pletier elemnts in for cooling 😎

[@PierreAlainMaire]

During a few months they allowed putting 41kWh packs on 22kWh Zoe. Same enclosure, just a reprogramming and a change in the registration. Then they banned it. No explanation. Well done giving that Kangoo another life !

[@hanswallner2188]

So nice to see that there is a lot of EV repair/upgrade knowhow in so many cool shops around the world! Great job, all the best to you guys!

[@peteroffpist1621]

Impressive , this is the best way to keep most BEVs running.

Some guys from Ukraine made 65kWh Zoe from 22kWh. Modified case.

[@jobvis4829]

What tool do you use to read and program the BMS?

[@lavina58]

Great job 🎉🎉🙌👍🙂🍀🙏

[@ssharkkkkkk]

Great video ,,, what kind of filament did you use for the wiring and BMS brackets ?

[@alanmay7929]

i saw a video of a guy who rebuilt the battery pack of a renault twizzy with different battery cells too, there is even a tesla models in russia with 125kwh custom made battery.

Kako funkcioniše hlađenje baterije i kakvu garanciju dajete na svoj rad?

[@StarkStromer]

You're the master of sustainability👍 Could you upgrade a Smart EV with a larger battery? Like the byd blade cells?

[@frankvecchi]

How mich for the refactoring?

[@itekani]

Maybe a good idea to import old EVs from France and upgrade them? I don't know what paperwork is needed here in Sweden, but I think upgrading a battery should be legal here since other modifications can be done.

[@alanmay7929]

i really idmire what you were able to achieve there! but i have one question! the battery cells of the nissan leaf degraded quickly because they were not managed properly there was no dedicated cooling/heating system to keep them at the optimal temoperature all the time. did you add anything to compensate that?

[@EngineersFear]

The lack of cooling just matters when rapid charging which I'm not sure the Kangoo supports. But the chemistry of the battery is not very good, they degrade heavily even if not used.

[@rkan2]

The cooling isn't necessarily necessary if you use chemistries that are better with higher temperature dis/charging. Also lower internal resistance leads to lower temperatures.

Is there another way to remove the alert of the low SOH without reading the EPROM then backup and find the alert flag?

[@evclinic]

@@falahdemery8258 no

[@rkan2]

I would like to see that bit of regulation from France. In general all components in vehicle use should be type approved, so if you recycle components from other cars, in other EU countries it should not be an issue.

[@evclinic]

@@rkan2 Then solve the DPF EGR ADDblue and other illegal tampering

[@valtersvasilis]

Nice way to bring new life into almost worthless car 👍

[@q9a]

May be the France government want's to Protect its citizens from the risk of fires. You can do a lot wrong with Li Batteries if someone is does not know what he are doing. I agree to France that there is a need of check to this repairs …… like a simplified new street Approve …… for example are the new fixation able to protect the cell from shotrcut in case of accidents. In every case this must be possible independent from the original Manufacturer.

[@evclinic]

@@q9a Then BMW diesel N47 and G motor series should be banned immediately. Because they catch fire so frequent.

[@Stefan_Dahn]

12:45 Do you have a reference to the french government (parliamen?) not allowing battery repairs? Never heard of any law about that.

[@evclinic]

@@Stefan_Dahn Research little bit. They do not allow any change on vehicle what was previously homologated. But Diesel DPF Off tampering and EGR tampering and tuning tampering is allowed

[@bidon5037]

France is one of the most restrictive country about cars modifications. Retrofit has been allowed in 2020 but very limited, so few shops and costly. Don't have sources, just recommending Marc Areny from EVShop, the entrepreneur who decided to start retrofit in Roumania because it was not possible in France in the 2010s.

[@lecornubruno2507]

@@evclinic I live in France, it is right. No modification are allowed. Also EGR tampering and tuning is illegal but it is not well controlled. We have every two years a check up but it is not enough for some intern modification

[@alanmay7929]

@@evclinic lol!!!! DPF or EGR modifications are very safe and totally easy kinds of things to do compare to building an entire custom battery pack which is high voltage by the way! totally diffferent things.
