I don't see the 650V input to the MGR as a problem, as I am thinking of using the Toyota inverter which already has the doubler. I am planning a max pack voltage of ~315V though, and I'm not sure if that will cause a problem. I can only see specs from Toyota for nominal input voltage of 288V.

I am thinking of adding this as rear wheel drive to my already EV converted FWD car. I could add a bit more power, regen and AWD, while also taking advantage of the built in DC-DC and possibly AC inverter. The MGR is also available very cheaply... much less than I expect a Tesla motor would sell for.
