Transforming a VW Polo into an Electric Vehicle with Elixir

In December 2023, three innovators began a project to convert a 2007 VW Polo into an electric vehicle (EV) using an electric Leaf engine and a Tesla battery, all controlled by Elixir running on Raspberry Pis. At Elixirconf 2024, they showcased their initial prototype, but now they return with a fully driveable EV. Their presentation covers the significant developments they achieved to enhance both the hardware and software aspects, including the car's new capability to be remote controlled. They also delve into their Open Vehicle Control System platform, which has evolved significantly, demonstrating how Elixir can be applied in unique and unexpected ways.
