FAQ

Has anyone done their own plugin hybrid except calcars and Edrive ? Jim

I think Dr. Frank of UC Davis and his team of students have done numerious similar projects. 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. I'll try to find those and list them here, feel free to help. --Rjf 17:17, 26 Oct 2005 (CDT) I almost forgot about some of these.

• Dr. Frank of UC Davis ( need some links ) makes 20 mile and 50 mile PHEVS

  • 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.
