I drive an Volvo V60 plug in Hybrid with 50km of EV range. I have a dailey commute of 60km. So i need something like 15km of extra range. I was thinking of adding an 48V batterypack in the trunck. This pack needs an dc to dc converter to add power in the high voltage pack. This pack is charged slightly lower then 400V. And empty around 290-300V. What dc booster are you using? I drive 2 times 35 to 40 minuten. So an 1 to 1.5 kW booster should do the trick.
