[RE-wrenches] PV to EV charging

[Ray]

I played around with several solar charged EVs, from 48 v to 144 vdc.  
On the higher voltage packs I used a voltage controlled switch that 
controlled a Kilovac high voltage DC relay.  Clunky one stage charging, 
but it worked.  With the new battery chemistries and layers of 
electronics on new EVs it might be harder to do though.  It might be 
easiest to go AC from the PV and use the EVs regular AC charging input 
if it has a lower power option.
