Welcome and a brief look intro to my 'OffRoadHybridVan' project. The motivation for this project is to learn something practical of the engineering technology behind electrification of a vehicle. However deciding against, for many good reasons, not to attempt a full battery-EV conversion of my camper van, considering the size, weight, cost, limited range and charging demands which such a 3500kg vehicle would demand. This decision not to embark (at least not yet) on a fully 'green/zero-CO2' project van will likely be a disappointment for many readers. The reality is that most owners of these camper van and the van-life culture associated with them, despite our best dreams to the contrary, the cost of full EV conversion and the limitations incumbent with driving range and mobility(charging) would be a severe compromise to getting to and staying off-grid, by desire away from urbanity and decidely off-grid - by definition out of sight of any charge point.
