- I'm looking to upgrade my 13 Ford Fusion energi from a 240v to a 500v charging system! I've seen that normal wire can handle up to 1,000v and up to 200amp w a 0awg wire. Is this true? If so how can I convert this car to a 500v charging system? Also, I've heard from a third party that if I wanted to put a different electric battery in this car I could; but I would have to access the computer system to have it recognize the new battery.
Is it the hybrid cells that allows u to charge either at 300 or 500v?, is it the wiring, the converter, or something else in the charging system? I know normally this would be a easy and stupid question, but, with hybrid cars I know it's quite a bit different!
