Changing a vehicle to Hybrid alone will give great fuel economy improvement. And don't under-estimate the smarts of people - if they can get cheaper driving by rolling out an extension cord and plugging in at 110V, which is plenty for a typical PIH, then there will me many people doing that! Cor v

OK, it sounds like Steve is having a "phantom" current issue - the phantom being a contactor that is always on. Are these packs plugged into the AC mains while sitting unused? I had a similar issue with the 12V auxiliary battery in my EV. After about 4 days, the 12V battery would go dead from
