Garys' Converted Electric Insight

Gary Graunke of Hillsboro, Oregon has converted an Insight to Electric! He is using a Metric Mind Siemens 5105WS12 AC Motor, Siemens AC SIMOVERT 6SV short inverter, and the original manual transmission without the clutch. The battery pack was originally (168V) fourteen 12v 38Ah Hawker Genesis and now consists of (309V) eighty-six ThunderSky 90AH 3.6V LiIon cells, charged with a Manzanita Micro PFC50 10KW. His range was 20 miles with 9 year old Hawkers and should be 230 miles with the LiIon. Curb Weight is 2100 pounds from the original 1850.

Speed Governor Disabling Circuit

This is a circuit I built to modify the VSS (Vehicle Speed Signal) on it's way to the ECU (Engine Control Unit) Computer in order to defeat the speed governor which limites the Insights speed to 112mph.
