I will try to add the link to his YouTube videos when I find it.

Just an FYI, it's technically a federal law in the states too, for all EV's and Hybrid type EV's since 2020. But doubt it would be enforceable on a retrofit, but then who knows with California. It's typically used at low speeds under 25ish MPH to give a warning to blind people or those just not paying attention on sidewalks, parking lots, etc.

Audible pedestrian alerts in electric vehicles (EVs) are sound generators that warn pedestrians of an oncoming vehicle. These systems are also known as Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS)


the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) requires all new hybrid and electric vehicles sold in the United States to have an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) installed. This requirement went into effect in September 2020

Hence why I mentioned not being applicable in a retrofit scenario like Greg's.

Of course, and your pictures are exactly what we see here. This is just the crap i get to decipher all day and report back to my superiors on as a fleet manager.

we now join Phase 2 of the truck project already in progress...

Our mission should we choose to accept it, is two fold:

1. Replace the 9 kWh battery pack with two 12 kWh battery packs
2. Enable MG1 by locking out the input shaft

Electric Truck Battery Upgrade Prep


below I already removed the first gen Chevy Volt charger and DC-DC converter

nice thing about owning a truck is that it comes with it's own workbench/storage space
