The flooring of your workshop seem to have smooth tiles based on the pictures you've uploaded so far. I'd suggest you modify the flooring into something like grooved concrete flooring.

Good job, I'm learning.

I just remembered now that the electric motor is different from the petrol engine.
What's the signal for swap of energy? Fully auto?

Very fully auto. I was in a friends place in yaba tonight and we drove around his street with the engine off.

We also parked and turned on the A/C and the engine still stayed off for about 3mins before the engine kicked in and went off again after another 3-5mins.

battery pack seems to be doing very well.

.The "B" position favors lower gears, too, but for a totally different purpose. Just as you might shift a conventional transmission to Low on a long downhill grade; you can shift into the "B" position to increase engine drag and help slow the Camry while coasting down a hill.

Vehicle came with 205/50/16 Tyres, I really don't know what they were thinking...

I will be getting rims and tyres today, suggestions are welcome.

Possible options

205/65/16

Safety wise.. Does tiles + mobil 1 or ATF or PS fluid = Accident or near miss..
Even though I noticed some of the tiles are broken, the broken tiles will reduce slip but if the slip occurs, the broken tiles can actually cut..

Grooved concrete will reduce slip hazard.
Grooved concrete will also not crack/break when a chain or wire string fails & engine block falls from the hydraulic hoist grin grin

Automobile workshops are prone to oil and fluid spills. Grooved concrete is hard to clean...
Therefore smooth floor is more desirable and safer in a workshop like this as staff and personnel PPE provide needed grip on smooth dry surface. Emphasis on dry, it's more important than surface texture here.

Grooved concrete will hold in fluid, but it's very important to have dry floor at all times.
There's fire hazard here too...

Yeah, I remember the safety boots and hats very well. You're not allowed into the plant if your goggles, reflectors, hats and boots are not properly worn.
