Back from Colorado (Visited UQM and Elithion)

UQM Visit

So i'm back in Montreal after visiting UQM and Elithion. Both meetings were great and both give a lot of confidence working with them.
UQM is a great company with one thing in mind Quality, each part is made directly at the factory, from the machining of the blocks of aluminum for the motor to all the assembly of the inverters. Each motor is tested before being shipped.
After a good technical discussions with Andrew and Dana, we found out that another option might be available for us the PowerPhase 125 EX. Just an inch longer than the regular 125, but with 140KW peak(possibly to 170KW for 10sec) and a continuous rating of 70KW. I'm really looking forward to get the full spec of this one.

Next stop Elithion. What a friendly guy this Davide and so much experience to share. We sat down for two hours looking into details of how to setup the pack and I got a very good explanation of how CAN works and communicates to each other. I'll share on another post what we came up with for the battery pack.

Overall, it was a great visit to Colorado and i'm looking forward to working with both of them.
