Enginer plug in conversion for a C-Max?

Hey Guys,

I was wondering what your thoughts are on an Enginer 8kw plug in system for my C-Max hybrid? I would have bought a Energi plug in. But, they were not available when I bought my car. Plus, I like the tinkering aspect of this.

I was thinking that my C-Max would be the perfect hybrid for one of these systems for a few reasons. For one thing, my car will run 85mph in EV mode. Plus, the electric motor is 40hp. It is actually not hard to drive the car in EV mode when the pack has a relatively high SOC.

My battery is 312 volts, though. So, I would need a different inverter for the Enginer system. I emailed Enginer and asked about a suitable inverter and they have not gotten back to me yet.

What do you guys think?

Matt
