For the Highlander drivetrain, 180 smaller cells, like perhaps the CALB CA-40s would do about 608V fully charged, but the charger would go up to maybe 640V. The pack would be about 23 KW-h and weigh .. 600 lbs. But where would you buy a charger?

I haven't completely answered this issues for my project, but here's what I've got so far:
1) Nissan Leaf battery pack (actually two of the large modules that make up a standard leaf pack. I may need about 24 more modules to completely match my voltage requirements - we'll see....
2) My solar system puts out about 300V per rack. If I'm crazy enough, I could hook those two racks together for 600V. On the other hand, a boost converter would prolly be a lot smarter solution.
