==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.

==Insight & ''M'' I M A==
 
Unlike the [[Toyota Prius|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.
 
 
 
Gary Graunke has done just that with his "Out-a-sight" Conversion at the [http://www.austinev.org/evalbum/461.html evalbum] and his [http://ev.whitecape.org/insight/ homepage]. ''Technically this should appear on the [[Conversions]] page.''
 
 
 
There is also a '''MIMA''' '''M'''anual '''IMA''' ''(Intigrated Motor Assist)'' control project which provides manual control over the IMA (Assist/Regen) on the Honda Insight.  While not a PHEV project it might make it possible to utilize additional battery capacity in a mixed mode similar to the Prius at high speeds.

A local SEVA member is also working on a sort of odd Insight conversion, which is comming along rather slowly. See [[User:Rjf/Insight_Modifications#Rear_Wheel_Electric_Drive|Ryan's PHEV Insight Project]].
