I posted this before, not sure how it got disappeared from this thread.

In a nutshell, boost charging is implemented and it works well. All easily configurable via iOS, Android apps or a mini touch display.
Answers to your other questions:
- Is it possible to get GPS/LTE module without included service? -- Yes, but no guaranteed operation with user provided Sim cards.
- Is the connectivity package external to the controller? - Currently no. Maybe later or, likely, all controllers going forward will have it on board standard. WiFi, BLE are already standard features.
- Does the controller work with VESC tool? - Yes, and I'll fully support the feature for beta testers. Going forward, all necessary changes would be done via the app only. If someone wants to use VESC tool, this option will be available still with the warranty void disclaimer. VESC is a great developer tool with lots of cryptic stuff that never needs to be changed even by an expert user and if you do, it's too easy to mess up. Apps may also have "expert" mode which would unlock low level settings with disclaimer.

Dear PV thank you for your answer about charging through phase wires. Can you further detail if the function is implement already or not? Also is it possible to get Next Gen 30s controller with 4g modem but without the plan? I have ATT GSM sim. Is the connectivity package external to the controller? Does it function with VESC tool?
