But seriously yeah, its going to be a remapp and some thicker cables away?




In a perfect world I would be 100% OK with an EV for a daily and a muscle car/classic for the weekend. We will get there soon enough.

I'd be keen on getting my hands on something like a Prius or Holden Volt and turning up the amps, surely it's under utilised in factory trim and the motor controller is limiting the current the motor is pulling.

The motor controller would be what needs to be beefed up to deal with the extra current, that'll be what burns out.

Depends on the factory wiring I guess but it wouldn't need to be too thick if you're pushing 400V one imagines.

I'm just speculating, I haven't touched an EV before, because you know, 400V DC electrical system BBQs humans.

Don't touch orange wires.
