ZhiDou EV forum

Once I had the cables in the Power Box, I needed to figure out how to fuse this whole thing. There's no room for the store-bought fuse case in the box, so I had to make my own custom fuse case.

Then I needed to pass the cables through the sheet metal into the engine compartment and then into the Power box ...

My idea was that one socket would be directly on the DC/AC converter under the driver's seat and the other in the trunk area where I already have a 12V/20A socket. I bought 2 sockets with a cover and I also replaced the universal socket that was original on the converter with our EU socket ...

Finally, it was enough to connect +12V to the battery (DO NOT FORGET about a fuse box with at least a 20A fuse to maintain selectivity, since there is a 15A fuse on the subwoofer), I already had my own cable stretched, from the connector to the 12V battery via a 20A fuse to the 12V socket that I ...

So I created a 3D component based on the undamaged one on the driver's side to print on a 3D printer. The material I used is PET-G. It is stable, the lock has been working for a year without any problems.
