Additional FeaturesAll OEM systems are working, I was able to adjust Automatic Transmission shift points for higer RPMs so electric motor can work in its best efficiency zone. I implemented "Idle Control" which allows for Air Conditioning and Power Steering to work at stops, and also "Cancel Idle" button to save energy at longer traffic stops to save energy.
