When the overall pack voltage drops quickly, the controller senses it and engages the motor brake. If it does it at high speed, you just slammed your chest into the steering wheel and sent your passenger into/through the windshield.

If your local dealer is advising you that you don't need the converter, find another dealer to talk to because that is just about the worst advise I have ever heard someone give when dealing with an RXV. I won't even let one leave my shop without one being installed. Period, end of sentence.
This is the way I understand it and I have to echo your disappointment in my dealer for just being interested in getting carts off his lot with whatever solutions he comes up with.

That said and since EZGO'S wants over $300 for their DC to DC converter, is there an aftermarket solution to this, or should I just write the check?
