Re: [EVDL] Tesla Y vs Escape PHEV

way past this comment at this point, but dug up the towing capacity of the PHEV Escape - rated for an impressive 3500 lbs. Seems to be best in class. RAV4 was only 2500, Model Y was 3200. From: EV on behalf of J Bills via EV Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2021 11

I can't seem to find the towing capacity of the Escape. I don't know that I've ever seen a boat behind one of those... might be worth double checking. A lot of people are eyeballing that new Rav4 and comparing to the Escape and Y - and apparently it stacks up very well (to the escape

[EVDL] tach w/ electric reverse?

Howdy all - have a thing here and I'm wondering if anyone else has ever run into it. On my EV (electravan from the 80's), I have an electric reverse going via an sw202 contactor. Did a motor swap fairly recently to a 7" Prestolite, which has a tach send + tachometer that were in use on the

I'm researching this as well, and there are gaping holes in my salvage pack research. Not wanting to hijack the thread, but along these lines (as an Electravan owner myself...) has anyone successfully found a good salvage option that can easily break down to a 144v pack? (or in my case, I can

Howdy all - I have an oldie-but-goodie DCP Raptor 600 and I'm looking to add a tach sensor (for rev limiting). It's the older style Raptor that took the black/white light photocell trigger. 2 pulses per revolution style. NOT the updated Zolox style one. I think originally this was an add

There are a few of us out here who have the old Jet Electravans, which are very similar to that little van you posted. It was based around an 80's Subaru 600 body and would make a good case study. Mine's been heavily modified and upgraded over the years, but if I recall, the stock Electravans
