I think conversion requires a strict adherence to pragmatics. Upgrading appropriate tech is far more effectively accomplished than simply grafting new tech on...
My problem for example is that I live on the other side of the country, you have no representatives here, your model is suggested for a price range I think is...
... if i had 100K to blow. (we're not actually saving yet, are we?)... i'd do it in about as much time as an instant money transfer takes. they've sold me with...
BUMP!! I can only second what t6his poster has said. I also think option for battery additions can be made easier too. I offered the idea in my other post...
Probably because the batteries are expensive and someone would have to develop the harness and the recharging controller to prevent over-charging. If you could...
I'm working on a project and I need to know more about the batteries than is listed on the webpage. Can someone give me some information on the batteries': ...
Hi all, I'm pretty much a newbie with a keen interest in Alternate forms of Energy. I'm also interested in learning more about hybrid drives. Any pointers on...
OK so I have gotten some feedback from Hymotion that the demand for a retrofit mod for earlier Prius's is so great they are considering coming out with one. In...
Ken To belabor the point I might a few days ago, given that as you mentioned, you're a newbie with questions, if you're wondering why you haven't gotten more...
You know Felix at least the folks at Hymotion are interested in trying to serve the needs of Gen I Prius owners> how about the folks at Cal Cars? From the way...
I think you are a little confused over what's what kxsills as far as companies and who's list is what. This list was set up by Edrive, a company that will be...
I was trying to offer helpful advice...by the way, I am not the owner of this site. It appears that Ken has been thinking he was posting to the Open Source...

Just a thought...but.... Would it be beneficial to integrate a computerized analysis of the individual driver's routine (highway vs. city driving) and ...
Is there an option for converting a Prius to a plug-in hybrid, WITHOUT new batteries? I understand the benefits would be smaller, but the installed cost might...
This would essentailly be the equivalnet of installing a EV switch. The non-US models seem to have this and as long a you stay under 35 mph you can go about...
... No, what I'm talking about is unrelated. I'm asking if there is a trickle-charging system that tops the traction battery up to 70%, when the car is parked....
Hello to any EV experts out there. I was surfing the Canadian Tire Website and came upon the solar cells. Link to Canadian Tires's solar cells section: ...
To charge an EV on 120 volts at 12 amps for 10 hours is 14,400 watt hours. Charging at 30 watts times 5 hours is only 150 watt hours. 150 watt hours will drive...
Norman is right; PV of the size that will fit on an ordinary car will generate about the same amount of energy regenerative braking does. 5 mins regen in town...
Not really, ev switch gives you the ability to drive on battery but not better use of the battery. IF I understand correctly Toyota only uses about 10% off...
I do not think it would be very effective as you would only get 2-3 miles if you were lucky. The only system close to what you are talking about is what some...
