2CV is undergoing modifications, I've found a little too much rust
on the frame so I need to
change the frame before I can start with the electric


Now the frame has been changed and I've finally got all the parts
I need. Starting to pass the
engine on the gear-box, and make the battery enclosure behind

18.04.2010
Now all the electrical in the car are ready, and I have done two
test runs without problems.
Because the car has become heavier in front of all the batteries,
I must put on stiffer
suspension in front.

06.05.2010
The car is complete and works perfectly, no problems after 200km
test run.
Must adjust Controller, trotel is too sensitive.

Now the job of getting the car register as Norwegian EV. There are
only 3 other converted
vehicles in Norway who have been registered. Norwegian authorities
will not register itself built
vehicles.

8/7-2010 I finally got 2CV street legal. It is the first electric
2CV in Norway that is street legal.
And I think it's the 3 or 4 converted car in Norway that is street
legal.

06.12.2010
Now it's-15C in Oslo and it is cold to run 2EL.
I see that the batteries drop much in the cold. Dropping down to
2.7 V when it goes out 170A.
I have to make new battery boxes with insulation and heating, to
heat up the cells during the
winter.
