    Have read the many posts regarding the Enginer PHEV for Gen 2 - just curious if anyone has had any recent experience purchasing and installing same....are the kits any better/reliable? Are there any cost effective plug-in alternatives? I like the fact that the Enginer approach does not require extensive mod to the vehicle and can be undone fairly readily. I'm not interested in puttering around in EV mode, but I like the idea of getting better fuel economy. Thx

    Enginer exists as a wholly Chinese owned firm.

    I would not trust whatever they are hawking
