I really like the little dc to dc converters I got (that I still haven't used). But, we need to find a way to beef them up a lot.
As is, they're ~60W.

Here is a thread I started a while ago when I found out about them. The autospeed article linked there tells you how to get more power out of them. But, you're not gonna get the 300W you need to run the Prius out of one without some major upgrades I think. Perhaps I'll bring one of these to the next EV build day and see what the guys there think can be done about uprating it (run multiple components in parallel or something).
