Has anyone tried Plug-In Supply? (Battery Upgrade)
 
I have been looking at this web page and wondering if anyone has actually gone and spent the $8K-$10K for the Escape upgrade. Anyone here?

Questions I have regarding this:

1. Can you install this instead of replacing the HV battery that comes from Ford, or do you have to have both?

2. When you are running in EV mode, you have no heat and no AC. Any way around that?

3. Are their MPG claims realistic?

For the AC/ heat question, the 08 and earlier would need an electric (not belt driven) AC system installed. I dread to ponder the computer implications of that in a hybrid.
