ACP Tzero
The Tzero is an all electric vehicle sports ev with 300 miles of range. Though it can also function as a PHEV at about 30mpg on gas utilizing it's gas powered range extending trailer. In which case it becomes a PHEV-300 with unlimited gas range.
Wayne Brown
I'm aware of a few other people who have added additional battery capacity to Prii, although they did not grid-recharge, those projects are rather close to becomming PHEV projects.
- Wayne Brown ( ev-button discovery, extra batteries, no plug-in ) File:04 HV & PbAcidParallelTie2.jpgHV tie-in
- Much thanks to Wayne for discovering and then sharing his discovery of how to install the ev-button at Yahoo in Feb of 2004. He also shared with us some interesting technical info regarding the effects of the ev-mode, "136 Amps (136 Amps X 202 VDC = 27.4 KW = 36.7 Horsepower)" vs "45-50 Amps (10 kW or 13 Horsepower)" in stealth mode (non ev-button electric mode). Wayne was doing a lot of work with additional battery capacity tie-ins. He wrapps it up here, Button Part Number, 31% gain, re-enable confirmation, more details, BMS details, some speculation, 7.5ah aux battery.

Insight MIMA
Unlike the Prius the Honda Insight doesn't have an electric only mode of opperation, as such at first glance it doesn't seem to be as attractive for conversion. However it's a very light and aerodynamic vehicle which makes it rather attractive for conversion.
There is also a MIMA Manual IMA (Intigrated Motor Assist) control project working on an IMA (Assist/Regen) on demand project for the Honda Hybrids. While not a PHEV project it might make it possible to utilize additional battery capacity in a mixed mode.

- http://www.insightcentral.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2471&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 - Project discussion
A local SEVA member is also working on a sort of odd Insight conversion, which is comming along rather slowly. See Ryan's PHEV Insight Project.
Gary Graunke has done just that with his "Out-a-sight" Conversion at the evalbum and his homepage. Technically this should appear on the Conversions page.
Hybrid Truck Project
An interesting projects to convert an existing Hybrid commuter bus into a PHEV Recreational Vehicle.
