Anyone know if current production EV's have voltage regulators to keep a stable/constant voltage to the motor? I also wonder if such a circuit could be built that when climbing a hill with say 50-80% charge, and you want to increase your speed up it (the term accelerate bothers me since you're already accelerating :P) could the circuit be built that senses the increased demand for amperage and determine what voltage/amperage combination would produce the desired outcome?

Something using an accelerometer, V/A meters, TPS, VSS, motor RPM, possibly altimeter. That's all the variables and related parts I can think of one might use, but not need. Not sure if an accelerometer can determine altitude. A rediculously smart one might.
