If there is a way to put 240v power to the car while driving I would like to know. I already have the main component to pull that off.
240V is a bit low. I don't have the specs off hand, but the Leaf's electrical system is around 350V average. 400V is close to what it is when fully charged. And a fully discharged battery is around 300V, if I remember correctly.

Basically you want something that throttles it back as voltage increases. As it nears 400V it throttles back and shuts off. For an example, 350V and lower, full throttle. 375V, half throttle, 400V zero throttle shut down.
