The warm weather has been here for a number of weeks. The Chevy S-10 EV has factory air (3ph compressor) however that was powered by an inverter that was part of the DC-DC converter. The DC-DC was the original problem and I had replaced it with an off the shelf unit. So there went the CAN signal that reported everything was fine and one could drive away. That wasn't the case with the off the shelf unit.
So with some help made our own traction motor inverter drive. And I've been having a blast driving this thing around. However I've been missing the air conditioner.
Today I'm removing the traction motor inverter to access the inverter drive for the air conditioner. Supply the signal wires and we should have air-conditioning.
Riding in-style, on electrons soon to be a product from the pergola at the house.
