EvTechWiki:About

From EvTechWiki

EVTech is a mailing list dedicated to the discussion of the electronics technology surrounding electric vehicles. It is a list specifically targeted towards implimenters - drive designers, both hobbyist and pro - software authors - and things of that nature. In general, if it has silicon or magnet wire or interesting chemical reactions in it and it's in a EV, it's fair game to talk about. This is what some have wisely referred to as a 'propellerheads' list - please be as technical as you need to be in order to describe whatever you are working on. Stories and discussions about the vehicles in general, as opposed to specific parts of their drive and associated systems are better sent to the EVDL

Specific examples of systems that you are encouraged to talk about on evtech:

• ) Drives, AC or DC or anything in between
• ) Battery management systems, dissipative, charge shuttling, or other.
• ) Batteries
• ) Advanced climate control systems
• ) Advanced entertainment systems
• ) Data acquisition
• ) DC/DC converters
• ) Chargers and charge algorythms

Specific examples of subjects you are encouraged not to talk about:

• ) Any personal attack on another wiki user
• ) Suspension, brakes, steering, tires, or anything else, except where the electrical system is directly affected.
• ) Whatever porn site you're here to deface our wiki to promote.

In general, this wiki is geared for developers and early adopters. If you don't fall in one of these two categories, you probably should be on the EVDL. This wiki is also not intended to be the end-all-be-all of electric vehicle technical discussion. It's just supposed to be another in a large cluster of helpful resources.
