I have a kit in my Insight and its been fairly trouble free. Feel free to ask away and if you are within a hunder miles or so, maybe I could visit?

I highly sugggest going with the 4 kilowatt setup as it uses the real force cells which in my case came perfectly balanced. Otherwise you need to buy a hobby charger that handles lifepo4 cells and spend a week balancing them before first use. Then of curse taking it easy the first few weeks.

I think most recently Enginer sells the kit minus the batteries so you can make your own and just need 48 volts to run it. Thats 4 deep cycle batteries in series from the auto store.
