Part 15 of a longer series on my 1978 Volkswagen Bus electric vehicle (EV) conversion. In this video, I show you how I fabricated the battery box that is bolted to the rear cargo floor of the bus. I also create another high voltage junction box and finish the high current cables to the rear contactor box. Finally, I actually perform the first official spin test that shows the contactors, controller, and throttle pedal operating.
