Thanks! I have learned much about FW since that thread. One is that since FW just changes the current path, it is unlikely to damage a PWM controller. To be absolutely safe, I don't switch FW on or off unless the controller is off or not regulating (full on).

I have the same sort of problem. Two cars is the max I'm willing to have at any one time. I'm not ready to get rid of the Citicar, I have a Prius as my second car (my wife calls it the gas guzzler).

There is an electric truck (one of the smaller sized Dodge 80's vintage trucks) near me that is looking for a home. Needs a battery pack and a good cleaning, but everything else looks like it is there. Tempting all the same...
