Hisun E1 Charge Port


Gorj

Recommended Posts

I have never liked the cord in the glove box to charge the E1. It takes up to much room and in the winter the cord is very stiff. So I decided to  install a charge port like the EV's have. I purchased a weatherproof socket to install in the side of the E1. Wired the charge cable to the socket and installed it.  So much easier now to plug the charge cord into the socket, and I have more room in the glove box.

On another note: Since I have owned the E1 I have noticed a rattle in the right front area but I never could locate it until last week when I had the E1 up in the air on a lift. When I grabbed the right front wheel it a play in it.  So I removed the wheel and torqued the nut on the drive shaft and the play is gone.  I am thinking when it was assembled the nut was just hand tightened and the cotter pin installed.  I also found that the left front nut was not tight either. Backs were OK.

Very neat. I might do this myself. The cable in the glove box is such an afterthought. Mine even has a UK plug on it that came from Tesco - our biggest supermarket chain - rather than anything branded. Interesting what you say about loose nuts. My buggy knocks and clatters like it's falling apart. Time to get the torque wrench out!

Most likely loose steering rod ends or something else in the suspension. If you jack the front up so the wheels are off the ground then grab one of the wheels and try to rock it you should be able to see where there's too much play in any of the bolts attaching the suspension bars to the main body or in the track rod ends. These all take quite a battering, especially if you're going fast over rough terrain.

I was going to ask, re the original post - what is that socket called - do you have a link? I've looked online but can only come up with 12v lighter sockets or something designed for caravans. I might not be able to source something identical in the UK, but knowing what to look for is half the battle with search engines!

      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.

      Hello,
      Background: Bought a used 2012 700, added 2 small LED lights, wiring for a sprayer and changed front CV axles. 
      Had no electrical issues until recently. The old battery stopped charging so we got a new one, Rhino still wouldn't charge it.
      -Started next day, drove 15-20min, then out of nowhere the check engine light came on and temp too. 4WD started to automatically engage and disengage repeatedly. Charging display started jumping all around between 11 to 13 to 15v.
      -Relays, fuses, and battery connections seemed good.
      -Continuity on rectifier would jump btwn OL and 00.0
      -Rectifier wires from stator all read 20-21v at idle
      -Rectifier diode test had 1 bad reading. So, I replaced it with a new one (but still using original plugs) 
      Started it up, still shows no change (12.1v idle, 12.8 with some RPM)
      Also, I feel like now I maybe also smell burning plastic?
      Does anyone have experience with this problem or have a recommendation of where to go next?
