No but it also shouldnt be complex enough to need it, all the computer needs to do is control the motors and the shifter nothing else. I dont need cruise control, I dont need lane assist, I dont even need powered windows ya know what fuck the doors altogether. Everything else IE lights, air, radio can be controlled through a rather simple tertiary power system.
So how are you going to monitor and control the temperature of the battery pack so it doesn’t blow up in your face? How do you control charging rates? How do you pre-heat the pack when when it’s cold outside?
And those are the just the first things I can think of in less than 15 seconds.
I live in a desert so I dont really need to pre heat shit, seriously I can just not drive it for the two weeks its under fifty. There are prebuilt modules that can control charging rate, they aint fancy but theyre becoming common in my area due to hobbyists. As for temperature id probably just slap a couple electric thermometers to it and call it a day. Worst case for the temp I rip up the back seat and jam an abomination of a heat sink into it.
Frankly speaking id probably just start copying old 1980s and 1970s electric car design.
Anyways I have clearly not thought it through massively, just got the basics down. And most of my opinions come from the place of loathing new cars, they all suck. I drive a 91 cherokee, I know how to work on mechanical shit not electric. But I have messed with enough old electronics to know there is always a workaround, even if it is ass backwards and is a massive fire hazard.
I look forward to reading your obituary some day…
You seem to assume I dont take cautious. I take plenty, ive got a couple work tables with burns and melted metal that say so. As well as a welding mask with a melted lense. I aint got no scares from it yet.
