I built 3 electric cars from 2018 to 2023 and drove them 20k miles. My own firmware and controllers, with an https://openinverter.org motor controller

Now I release my knowledge in bite-sized chunks on my new YouTube channel to help others:

What's a battery management system? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QsMoCrSTYc

What is the C-Rate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDu1fRtKfsA

What is battery balancing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGYLPOlT45A

etc. etc. I focus really hard on answering exactly one question in a concise and engaging way and trying to keep every video under 5 minutes. Oh, and to make the videos solution independent, so not specific to a product, but convey the underlying knowledge so it has a longer shelf-life.

Full list is here: https://foxev.io/batteries/ I am planning to turn this into a knowledge base with playlists for "learning paths" like "everything to watch about batteries" or "here is what you need to watch to make a motor spin on a bench". I will add interactive functionality like quizzes and widgets to make the knowledge even more sticky.
