It's not a bug, it's a feature. haha
By the way, I've finally committed to a particular configuration for the cheap AC controller. It's really targeted toward the 50kW range. I found some 900v 50uF caps for $13 each. I can fit 7 or 8 of them depending on how they are arranged on the board. And they have some very nice 1200v TO-247 super and TO-264 PLUS igbts that are pretty affordable, that can handle 50 amps RMS easily. So, here's what I'm thinking. Assume people are willing to put, say, 350v worth of smallish batteries in their car, and then they can boost it to 700v. Then, the power and other stuff is as follows:

this crap was wrong before... See below.
