Motor controller capacitors are currently charged with a constant voltage source and series resistor. This is always 50% efficient. For a challenger vehicle, it might be better to have a switching circuit (buck topology) to charge with constant current (which would also be faster).
Keep to 12V by removing DC DC inversion
Add hall effect sensor
Make simpler by removing irrelevant portions (e.g. fan control and thermistor may have been exclusive to MOV since shorts less of an issue?)

LinksImplementation routes
For lower current parts
Add a series resistor to discharge path for lower current
Drawback
Slower to discharge (0.25s)
For lower voltage parts
Use relay in parallel
Less preferrable
Drawback
Expensive
May not share load equally (reduce one relay lifespan quicker)
