Modern EVs
Electric vehicles, built from scratch for Build 42.20.4. Modern EVs is a self-contained EV framework with twelve modern electric cars, native EV drivetrains, traction packs, thermal and BMS systems, a dedicated mechanics console and a craftable charging station.
Twelve modern EVs
Native ModernEVs vehicles with rolling wheels on all twelve.
Not a gas-tank reskin
Energy is stored in traction packs (kWh). The mod blocks vanilla fuel radials and start paths on these cars.
Mechanics console
Opening mechanics on any Modern EV opens its own console, with a dashboard readout for charge and systems.
High-voltage systems
High-voltage parts wear over time, a thermal loop runs, and a BMS manages the pack. Regen and idle drain are configurable.
Charging station
Craft an EV Charging Station Kit and build the pedestal (Electricity 5, Mechanics 3). It holds an 80 kWh bank and pushes 11 kW by default.
Crafting
Electrical and Mechanics recipes, including a makeshift traction pack built from battery boxes, wire and electronics scrap.
What's new in 1.0.9
- Damage textures — damage shells use the vanilla Veh_Damage textures again, so the paint atlas isn't sampled through the damage unwrap.
- Quieter sync — the charge stand-in transmits only when its level changes.
- Fresh-car parts — engine, battery, muffler and reservoir are topped up once when a car is first created and can take damage after that.
Requirements
Project Zomboid Build 42.20.4+. Self-contained. When Project Faded Car is loaded and the bridge option is on, charge and high-voltage wear are mirrored into PFC.
Player Guide
A 7-page guide (written for 1.0.0) covering the vehicle roster, driving and starting, the console and dashboard, traction packs, high-voltage systems, charging, crafting, spawns, sandbox options, the PFC bridge and the other-mod API.
