Does anyone think it is possible to repurpose a hybrid car to have a charging port to be able to charge the batteries?

If this is possible, a DIY person may be able to have a cheaper electric car.

HIGH PV VOLTAGE INVERTER
FL-IVEM3024
3KVA 24V hybrid inverter
with (MPPT:120-450Vdc,4000W)

Ok. Thanks. I use the low frequency version IVPM-5048. Should work too.

Will arrange to buy it, if it doesn't work, will find a way arround it. From my recent communications with Felicity, I know that their ports are working. They just have different configurations based on inveter.

I think we're saying 2 different things. Your last sentence alludes to the usage of electric cars in naija.
I am talking about the manufacturing of electric cars in naija.

While besides the point, the 2G, 3G, 4G and current 5G deployed in naija are mere illusions / suggestions. You can't be waiting an entire minute for the simplest of web pages to load, with all your commercial banks having connectivity issues every friday and claim to have anything even remotely close to 5G.
You can't skip the fundamental infrastructure, providers are struggling to provide basic services because almost 50% of every resource overhead is geared towards same.

before GSM, naija electricity infrastructure was not the best.. But we went from 2G...3G...5G....some people that never used landline, never used nokia torchlight with 2G...there first phone na 5G...serious jumping if you ask me... Electric cars will thrive without waiting for proper infrastructure trust me.

Range is too small. Why is the cost that high?

This model required 120V... If he adds one more 545W it will work fine.

the 30-400V type works with 1..

Which of these inverter has 30-400v MPPT?

Electric cars na battery and electric motors... You are telling me that this two things are more complex than everything we have achieved in this country? Dantata group have just launched a lithium mining and procesing plant... That is a step... Auxano Nigeria limited assembles solar s in Nigeria.... That is another step.... Valto for this thread de couple battery... Little steps here and there and soon we will be running. I believe in the endeavours of Patriotic citizens....some years ago i know people that never believed in solar... Steady diesel burning.... Now things have changed.... If Nigerians don't drive electric cars, our future engineers won't have one to work on and gather experience till we get it right like the chinese.

Bro, get SMS it's cheaper and better IMO.

SMS Now have four Chinese repairers in Alaba, according post I sae yesterday from their official Facebook page.

Nominal Voltage Range: 240v(for 12v/24v/48v)

12v PV Voltage Range: 30v - 400v(same as max voc)

24v PV Voltage Range: 60v - 450v
48v PV Voltage Range: 60v - 450v

Please my Felicity charge controller 100Amps is showing warning sign code 20. The issue is that my battery is charging but the code removed the watts and amps reading on the controller. My system is a 5.5KW inverter with 12 300watt Canadian used s. Please any solution?

If this is during sun hours then take it to their service center cause 54V from PV can't charge a 54V battery.

Had a similar issue with a client's just 6 weeks after installation and they fixed it at the service center.

I promise you, electric cars are more than battery and motors.

Your future software engineers to build the brains of the electric cars are being arrested / kidnapped by your police for owning computers and eventually leave the country frustrated sir.

Nigeria is trying to build a house from window level.

No electricity, no steel industry, no structured vocational sector to write home about, no water, no health care, no security, no roads / access to raw materials, no communication backbone but wants to jump to manufacturing electric cars. How?

Dantata, mining / processing and then what next, lithium is taken away to where value is added and then @Valto re-imports as already manufactured cells, imports manufactured BMS, puts together and sells at a markup. What next? Nigeria has been doing that for decades, still sliding backwards economically.

Auxano imports everything puts together and sells at a markup, still leaving naija net shortchanged. How does that help?

Until those fundamentals I listed earlier are sorted, the country will country dance around in the mud pit. No be curse, na fact.

That's nice. Use a 2kv12v sms inverter and it's bin doing just fine.
Had issues with the fan always on most of the time when working but recently decided to clean my anti-dust kit. Was so dusty but after cleaning ,fan just comes on occasionally.
2ndly noticed it wasnt always charging my battery well esp when input is around 200-300w (was using 3 300w s that increasingly looks fake) but then guess thats why its hybrid. I added 2 more (fake)s to take the pv volt over 150v and it charges better once I'm getting 350w upwards.
Hoping to get original s to swap the fakes and see just ow well it wud perform
swagifted(m): 6:54pm On May 10, 2024
If the demand for electric cars continue at its current trajectory, s and inverter will see an increase in price if supply cannot keep up... As i de talk to you 7 units of toyota pure electric just arrived abuja... My shipping agent in lagos say he has 38 units of chinese electric cars to send to abuja this coming week(he drives a tesla himself).

I'm still in the process of deciding which budget friendly Hybrid inverter to buy. And SMS is one of them. Atleast for now.
I'd like to know, does it have monitoring app via Wifi.

Hope to hear from you.

WIFI monitoring is useless. it's not worth it.
If you need monitoring you are better off with solar assistance and co..
