Chevy Bolt EV Drive Teardown Video
« on: December 13, 2020, 12:08:44 AM »
I have to share this.  I just discovered this series, from John Kelly at Weber State University USA.
It's an Engineer's perspective, it's well produced, and all delivered as the the instructor disassembles the drive unit in less than an hour himself.
The video emphasizes the design refinements Chevrolet's designers have invested in the Bolt EV, and the promise that electric vehicle drives hold for the cost, longevity, and reliability of EV's in the future.
I hope you all enjoy!

 His videos are great, as you described. I learned a lot about the different car batteries breakdowns, over a few years, so I could buy them at salvage yards and break them down to modules and sell them to DIYers.

This is how I'm spending my christmas holidays (partly) by watching youtube way more than usual!
