    I am the owner of a new version 6 enginer kit. I am rather dense and find the directions for diy could be plainer. Example: "You may have to get your hand in beneath rear bumper to fasten silver ring". With popeye forearms That was impossible. Had to loosen top of bumper cover. " run charger cord to bumper cord" . Didn't explain to drill through back panel. Nor to drill into rear tail light for charger led, ect. "hook up 9 wire R to R bms a L to L. ". "batteries may be reversed" I learned that 9 wire cord must not be reversed. Yikes did I fry something? O well Mr Chan is trying to straighten me out. Wonder of wonders I still am not too disgusted. I WILL MAKE IT WORK! Don, By the way Eric Powers is a nice guy to know. He furnished his phone # AND HELPED ME A BUNCH, THANKS ERIC

    sounds about right. great for tinkerers, but no one should expect a simple install and flawless operation. i would consider one if i could afford to keep my old 04 as a second car. it would be fun to learn more about what everyone talks about here.

    The name is Jack Chen, although he may be popular in the PHEV world Jackie Chan is also Chinese but one of these persons is an actor.
