Someone dropped a box there. I made a sharp swing to the right to avoid it, and broke my front end. Might have been better to just hit it.
The front wheel is shaking with squiring noise. Barely made it to the charger.
Waiting for AAA.

Sounds like the front end was on the verge of going out anyway. Be thankful you got off this easily.

Yes, might want to change car and just move my batteries over. I just want to pay with batteries anyway.
There was an accident with previous owner, but no detail on it.

I avoid horrors like Van Ness and Diviz and Valencia and Market
Street. It\'s faster and much more pleasant to take some smaller side
streets whenever possible.
I go up Scott instead of Diviz to get to Kaiser, for example. Stop
signs cycles faster than traffic lights, and busses really slow things
down.
Electric cars are heavy. Maybe less maneuverable than gas cars, and
there\'s more mass to damage suspensions when you hit a bump or even
turn hard.

Van Ness was empty at 4am. Would have seen it earlier in daytime.

It was too manurable. I hard turn to the right to avoid the anti-vehicle mine (watching too much RU/UA video), and pushing the left wheel sideway. The lower control arm is bended (toe-in). The repair shop wants $700 to fix it. I asked him to just bend it back a bit. He won\'t.
It\'s self-correcting a bit and I can drive at 25MPH. My friend in Vegas can probably do it for less. That\'s what they do for wheel alignment anyway. I will have to drive to Vegas at 25MPH.

What was the \"mine\"? A cardboard box?

Drive to Vegas and back, at 25 MPH, to save a few hundred dollars?
1100 miles round trip, maybe 45 hours. On back roads, presumably.
Electric cars are a disease.

Yes, around 2\' to 3\' box, right in the middle of the road .

Moral of the story:
Don\'t watch RU/UA video while driving. Pay actual attention to your
*driving* while driving.
Testing my expansion battery using
AC110V->DC168V-(/5)->DC24V-(x2)->DC48V-(x8)->DC192V-(x2)-> DC384V.

What a waste. Assuming an optimistic 97% efficiency for each of your
conversion steps (an *very* optimistic assumption) then your five
conversion steps have wasted 15% of the incoming energy just in
conversion losses.

If by \"That\'s what they do for wheel alignment anyway\" you are
referring to your \"asked him to bend [the control arm] back a bit\"
comment, then you are wildly misguided. Wheel alignment is not done by
\"bending the control arms\". All the necessary adjustments have
adjusters to allow an alignment to be performed. For toe that usually
takes the form of a threaded hollow pipe which can be turned to
lengthen/shorten the control arm and adjust the toe setting. If the
actual arm is bent, then not only is the integrity of the arm at
question, but the new length of the arm is probably beyond the
adjustment range of the threaded adjuster.
Could have happened to any car.
Incorrect. Any car with such poor build quality that the driver can
damage steering linkages simply by performing only a hard snap turn on
a road at speed (and not hitting anything in the process) is so poorly
designed it should be scrapped instead of repaired.

No. at least 99% overall. No energy loss with jumpers and toggle
switches, one time energy loss in bi-stable relays. There are no passive
components, but burn-out fuses sometime.

OK, I can probably replace it with this $50 part, if I can borrow
someone\'s garage.

Just cheap parts, but nothing to do with EV.
Look like there are already two mounting holes for a re-enforcement bar,
or just weld some in.

How are you obtaining 99% overall with five conversion stages..?
Then how do you double 24V to 48V without losses, then multiplying 48 by 8 without loss to
get 192V? And then how do you double the 192V to get 384V without loss?
Furthermore, they are balanced at 12V or 16V level.
What does this statement even mean?

upshifting (in series) and downshifting (in parallel).
AC to DC entails rectification -- there will be some loss in the
rectifier.
OK, one stage loss, but inevitable in any converter.
Then, how do you divide 168VDC by seven without any losses?
Shifting DC168V (in serial) to DC24V (in parallel).
Then how do you double 24V to 48V without losses, then multiplying
48 by 8 without loss to get 192V? And then how do you double the
192V to get 384V without loss?
Again, standard serial/parallel shifting.
Furthermore, they are balanced at 12V or 16V level.
What does this statement even mean?
There are internal 3 stages BMS for the 12V module.
