I have seen a couple of EV installs including Tesla, Nissan and Volt (Chevy). I like the idea of the hight battery pack voltage but I think you still need viable BMS. I also think the reduction in wire size and amperages more than make up for the losses from stepping down the utilization voltage back to 12vdc. I have only one Easy Start on my largest AC currently but will install another once I shake out my LiFePO4 install.
