Part 3 of a longer series on my 1978 Volkswagen Bus electric vehicle (EV) conversion. in this video, I go over the COMPLETE EV Wiring Schematic discussing the type and purpose of all EV components from the Motor and Controller to the relays and fuses. In addition, I explain my rationale for why I am choosing the components I have, what components I recommend buying if I didn't already own them, and where to buy these components.
