Do you know which HVH250? -90 or -115 size? SOM (max 300 ARMS peak) or DOM (max 600 ARMS peak) winding? And what's the battery voltage (could be up to 700 V, but might be less than half that)? There could be quite a difference in what the controller has to handle, depending on the specific motor and installation.

It doesn't matter, but it seems a little strange that they used a controller from Dana TM4 who only sells controllers to enable potential customers to use TM4 motors... but used it with a BorgWarner (formerly Remy) motor.current controller is Dana TM4 C0150, don't have schematic or can controls for it
By the way, the name appears to be CO150 (with the letter "O"), rather than C0150 (with the digit "0")... it matters to online searching. It currently comes in regular (320-450 V input and max 615 ARMS output) and high-voltage (500-750 V input and max 425 ARMS output) versions, so it's not clear what the truck's battery voltage is likely to be.
If you have the space and weight capacity you can certainly do that, and keeping the ICE retains the hybrid capability, but I don't see how it makes anything simpler. Keeping enough of the controls to be functional on batteries would help, but does the presence of the engine really help?Do you think it will be easier to leave the ICE motor in it and simply extend the range of "plug in" capacity before the ICE kicks in?
