Hi,

I just realized (from looking at the Enginer web site) that the main box installs over the spare tire well! So you cannot carry the spare down there... I wonder if in their larger capacity kits, if they put a few batteries down there?

Enginer sells a 8kWh kit, and 3-Prong (which sells and installs Enginer kits) has a 10kWh set up. That 3-Prong kit comes with a rear suspension upgrade, and the EV mode is increased to 52mph. But it sells for $12K...

I'm eager to hear about how this system works and how the balancing goes over the long term.
