The Zombieverter project provides an open-source Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) tailored for repurposing salvaged electric vehicle (EV) components. This initiative aims to democratize the use of EV technology by enabling those with mechanical skills but limited technical knowledge to construct and utilize their own electric vehicles. A standout feature of the Zombieverter is its support for DC fast charging, a significant improvement over typical conversions that are limited to AC. Overall, the project fosters sustainability in automotive technology, promoting recycling of EV parts and accessibility to electric mobility solutions.
