Prius buck/boost stage is one option, reviving my TO-247 IGBT modules would be another (allowing higher frequency). Even SiC could be interesting to keep the cooling noise down and have even higher switching frequency and a tiny inductor.
I must tell you i have changed my mind from last time. When i saw the Outlander extender and its simplicity i decided to implement this into our Ampera. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=301&hilit=Outlander+extender#p5276
Maybe you can move this thread to the Mitsubishi section?

Also i will probably do this in my Pug with two Volt batteries in parallel, just to prove my point.
Idea is to be able to charge with the original 3kw charger, but i will still try to make 3phase charger on basis of EMW for both packs.
