Hi All:

___I am definitely for the concept of longer range EV modes in a Hybrid but the Prius II as the test mule? It has a unique look and all but it is one **** heavy automobile for this conversion?

___For our members … The “You don’t have to plug it in” campaign that Honda, Toyota, and now Ford, has promoted is a mistake as all Hybrids should have this option with a large enough pack. For all the short travel I do in the Insight, Ranger, and Corolla, it would be a godsend.

___For Felix … I don’t know if you guys have seen this or not but it should help you reverse engineer the more complex portions of Toyota’s HSD in your own Prius II.
