Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Thread Like Summary - Electric car charger in old pump

I hope this is appropriate here. I just wanted to show off the Bennett 646 pump that I converted to hold my electric car charger, with an original Veeder-Root display unit that shows the actual kilowatt-hours (gallons) and dollars consumed by the car:

(That website is mostly for people who walk by it in my yard and want to know what it is, but it has links to pictures etc.)

It was a fun project that took me about four months.

I also want to publicly thank Tom Buckles at GasPumps.us, who sold me the beautifully restored Veeder-Root computer and variator, then went above and beyond to help when I couldn't originally get it working with the motor I wanted to use.

That is really awesome, Robert. I hope more people use classic gas pumps to house their electric car chargers. I imagine your custom Arduino electronics will be beyond the capabilities of most folks.

Hope it's OK to display one of your photos here to illustrate your story.
