I know what this is. happened to me when i put a tantalum cap in backwards. dc dc goes into some sort of foldback limiting.

On a different note the igbt controller got a workout today. We arranged a transporter truck to move the car to a different location. Its one of these tilt bed setups. Long story short i ended up climbing a 45 degree tilted bed pulling 320 battery amps , foot to the floor and both rear wheels burning rubber. Heatsink went from 5C to 15C. Tow truck guys jaw hit the ground!

also had a chance to compare the ev with a stock bmw e36 and its sitting WAY higher on the suspension. Really good news.
