[QUOTE="ENKssen, post: 629005, member: 32145"] Having seen a number of electric conversions done on buses, one thing that always surprised me was that no one was utilising the fuel filler as the location for the charge port. I guess because most I have seen are late bays where they have the different style of petrol cap. Mine being a crossover, measuring meant that with a bit of modification, the filler area could house a CCS port allowing not only for home slow charging (ac) but also public fast charging (dc). Should allow the bus to be charged in around 45 minutes, not lightning quick I know, but not ridiculous. Fuel filler area after modification. I will have to make up some bracketry to hold the charge port securely and then I'll make a cover plate to keep it looking smart. [img]https://i.imgur.com/yzIwYp1.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
