I'm in the process of rebuilding a 1956 Jeep CJ5 and converting it to an electric vehicle. In this episode, I use the open source Openinverter control board and a junkyard Prius inverter to get the Jeep driving for the first time in about 40 years.

I don't really consider this an instructional video as much as an example of how to set up the Openinverter system. If you want to do it yourself, i'd recommend following the instructions here: youtube.com/watch?v=tirDQJ6iH28&t=5311s
