It was the original BMS causing the problem in my car.. And it was not even faulty..

Just a update, on cell was dead, and i removed the original bms, placed another BMS solution from ev-power in Australia, and modified the zivan charger. It has worked for several months now. Here is more about the BMS conversion process http://techmind.dk/citroen-c1-evie-elbil/tag/bms/

Hey, i have the same experience with the original BMS and i am close to end the conversion to another BMS solution and i also make a guide for this conversion. If you have any quistons, don't hesitate ask : http://en.techmind.dk/citroen-c1-evie-electric/modification/conversion-guide/ I have also fou...

hey, my car has run 8500 km, so it is a little to early to replace cells i think.

Yes i feels as someone holds the car back, also i discovered that the voltage go as low as 62 volt at this 'surging' feeling you describe.

I desided to replace the MES heater with a eberspacher d4w heater, i works well, and use less current than one front light bulb.
