I assume it takes a lot of power to move my F150, maybe I'll just use the boost on straights! That's why I suggest using a button to engage the power. If I find it's manageable maybe it could be used all the time. The F1 drivers tend to drain it on every lap. They start the race with it charged and then recharge via braking. Sort of a limited plug-in hybrid, REALLY limited. I think they get around 80 horsepower and they run the batteries hot to the point its dangerous.
