The relatively heavy RAVolt has a 144 VDC with the Curtis controller and
that tops out at 400 Amps.  It's pretty easy to max the controller, but not
(usually) a big deal in traffic.  At highway speed, I'll pull 200 amps to
maintain 65.  If I pull a lot of power for too long, then the Curtis will
get hot and current limit by using a lower pulse freq.
