PHEV lite
I am planning on buying a new Prius but really want a PHEV. The two options are a long way off. One company does a complete conversion for around $12000 but they have done ten prototypes and will not get to the East coast for years. The other company, in Canada, does a two-hour battery addition but they are also not yet selling to consumers. Is there any interest in this topic on this forum? I am a retired EE professor and would like information on the computer hack that biases the power choice toward electrical. (The European/Japan electric mode switch) I would then add NiMH batteries and have a ball. Yes I know that will void the warranty. That will affect my timing but will not keep me from experimenting.
