Installing the iBooster - EVcreate I'm currently working on documenting the options on the Open Inverter Wiki. This guy has written up how he's using a Tesla one. Coinciding with the surge in demand, several key semiconductor manufacturing sites were forced to halt production, Kroeger said. Another electric brake booster alternative is the Bosch iBooster, that is used in a myriad of electric and hybrid VW/Audi vehicles, and a number of Tesla's.
