We made three cast aluminum clutch covers yesterday at Kwalikum Secondary School on Vancouver Island. The parts came out very well and we’re looking forward to having them machined and installed on the car.

Neil is putting the final touches on the BMS Arduino unit. After many problems with the Ammeter, we’ve managed to get the system working accurately. Our next project for the E-Beetle is to assembly a user-friendly guide, in addition to the already open-source design & code.
We’ve finally welded the mounts & dropped the motors into car.
We’ve been making progress in integrating our in-house designed X-BMS into the E-Beetle.
Powder coated mounting bracket installed and ready for motors.
After much difficulty, we managed to get the transmission back in vehicle.

Torsion bars were tensioned to handle the added weight of the batteries and motors. Unfortunately, this required the dismantling of the entire rear end.
We’re now ready to have the motor mounts welded later today.
