this is the new BMW hybrid battery pack SP41 module with the BMS slave module attached weighing in at 28.2 freedom pounds, the truck will be equipped with a dozen of these beauties

Do these replace what you already have or are they going to be in addition to what you are running now?

these will replace the older 6 modules which were only a 9 kWh pack the original plan was to use two of those but since then BMW came out with a bit larger energy wise packs but in the exact same physical form factor, so out with the old 6 modules and in with these newer 12 for an expected range of 84 miles, but we are not done yet, the ultimate goal is a 100 mile range

the new packs are 12 kWh each and I am putting in two of them for a total of 24 kWh

Gregski, have you been getting people coming up to you to comment on your truck? What is the usual response from them when they find out it is an ev?

[Gregski]
