Yeah, it makes the newer Insight way more drivable. I have you tube videos where I dog it and the SOC stays at 90% and it will assist as long as I have my foot on the throttle. EV mode is still limited as it does suck the battery down faster than it can recharge it.
Ive been on the fence about buying a second converter to help with the load of using EV mode to allow extended use. Ive read a lot of horror stories and was going to go this route or a Fit turbo charger. I am glad I went this route and its been trouble free.
FYI, to enter EV mode on the newer Insight get car above 12mph, then release the throttle and apply just enough pressure to remove the slack. You should see the MID show regen, then nutral or coasting, then a slight bit more pressure you see the battery only feeding the car. Its best for extending your coasting and speeds up to 50mph.
