The other day I finished up the BMS system for the enginer kit. This is the main thing that is lacking in the kit, or at least my version of it. The newer ones have a nicer BMS. Anyway, I made a quick video of it in action.

I have changed a thing or two on the schematic since it was last updated. I'll post up a new one once I get a chance to change it.

I have gone through one tank with the PHEV so far using it a fair amount of the time. The result was 63.6 mpg. Not too bad, but I'm definitely looking for more. Charging was a pain since I didn't have the BMS hooked up yet. I am charging for the first time tonight with the BMS and am loving that I don't have to check it every 15 minutes.
