Today after school Mr. Butler, Mike and I finished all of the low voltage wiring. Our afternoon consisted of wiring the key switch to all of the control components in order to start the car. After running a new section of wire loom into the car, we connected all of the wires to their designated areas. Now it was the moment of truth. After placing the rear of the car on jack stands, we all crossed our fingers, connected the high voltage, and flipped the key switch. The car ran!!! The rear tires made movement with no complications whatsoever!
Tomorrow we plan to drive the EV under its own power. Today was a milestone in the history of this whole project and will always be remembered as the day that McMichael EV made its first steps.
