Good day all!

Together with my girlfriend we are traveling with an electric car from the Netherlands to South Africa and back. We are currently in Morocco.

With the help of two partners we are getting an enormous amount of data out of the car via the OBD port of the car. If you can think of it, it is probably an paramater that is measured, liked G-force meter, if we buckled up, cellular reception of the car and so on.

What would be nice, beside the obvious like we already have on our website (SOC, altitude, speed and soon windspeed and direction), to show on our website? And what combination of data would be interesting to analyse?

At the moment one of our partners is making this dashboard with the help of students. We are allowed, to a certain extent, to share datasets, if you would be interested to play with it.

Soon we will share more facts and figures about our expedition after the dashboard is set.

Thanks!

Any change we can get it contact with you? For our project www.4x4electric.com we would like to visit different Zipline projects in Africa to generate more attention for this kind of projects

Very nice project! Hopefully we can visit them next year during our project: www.4x4electric.com

Can come CO from candles as well? We do not have any flames inside as we cook with induction, we only use candles as indoor flames. Nice fact: Here in the Netherlands a fire alarm will be obligated starting from this summer

Good idea! We are already in contact with Lightyear. They like our idea, but are to busy at the moment to be part of our project. We wil contact the solar teams!

We think the total trip will take ± 1 year

Together with my girlfriend I’m planning a trip. Driving from the Netherlands to South Africa and back with an EV. We want to charge the car with solar panels we bring with us. See our website for more details: www.4x4electric.com

Challenge for now: how to charge the car with ~60m2 of flexible solar panels. We need a threephase offgrid solar system, but did not find a suitable solution yet.

Any ideas?
