Haha, quite true. This is phase 1. I just want to get a quick setup to plug into the fuse holder and it'll be operational. With my Metro, I just disconnected the big battery wire. I installed a relay to be able to hook it back up, but I never wired power to the relay to turn it on. It was never an issue.

Phase 2 brings the wires into the cabin and I want to tie into the brake light to reactivate the alternator for a regen braking setup.

Phase 3 is modifying the sense signal even further to crank up the alternator output to get a bit more regen out of things.
