    No, there is no legal requirement for brake lights to activate with regen , though the Controller has an output, Normally when driving on the road I'll only be using the brake pedal.
    Does hill descent on a modern 4WD turn on the brake lights ?? I know jake brakes and so forth dont .

    The other thing surprisingly thats not in the regulations , is there is no requirement for a positive locking park brake, only a handbrake is required , ICE cars have either a Park Pawl on auto trans & Handbrake , or a Manual can be left in gear plus handbrake.

    There is a Security camera Video of a unoccupied / parked Tesla model S which releases its EPB & rolls down a hill, across a road & into a tree.

    I'll be machining something up in due course.

    Yep, not wrong, that what the NCOP14 & VASS engineer is all about .

    When I look at some conversions I shake my head , There is a commercial operator in QLD , I cant believe what he gets past the inspectors . Battery Enclosures are supposed to withstand 20G in a front / rear impact , 10g sideways . Thats is the enclosure has to sustain 20x the battery weight .

    the bloke in this video, & all those BMS wires MUST be in orange , Those plywood boxes yep 20G (not)

    DIY Electric Car Forums Site Home it's a real shamble at the moment as VS Admin have disallowed http images so our option it either buy a security ticket ($180 per annum from the mob I'm with) or get images hosted elsewhere.

    Good Article in LRO on your lightweight.

    I was watching your latest Youtube vid and noticed the one The Charge show did on it.

    Very impressed with what you have done with it.

    Another video, ho hum, let me know if these are getting monotonous / self serving , or are they genuinely interesting ?

    After 20 years of owning apple mac computers I finally discovered the Ken Burns crop function in I-Movie , post processing makes it look like a fixed mount camera is panning & zooming .
