| Conversion Time | PHEV conversion still testing, not the best choice for upgrading, the kit has had numerous equipment failures: cells, chargers, BMS, and converter, some is expected with first prototypes, but results are dissapointing, I believe that the converter output too low both in voltage and current, but since this year Escape hybrid has too much reliance on ICE it is hard to get much benefit from the PHEV. | ||||||
