Reply #4: We have to re-think the charging system.

You can't make this a plug-in electric car without a huge transformer in your garage. Handling high voltages creates another level of risk.

Solve one problem, create two more!

I wonder what the carbon foot print will be when all the costs are calculated and all the problems are solved?

Another potential problem is that some capacitors tend to dissipate their charge when left inactive. I wonder if that has become a problem with this design?

It will be interesting for sure!
