FAQ

These should be fleshed out and may eventually warrant their own page, for now they live here.

Other PHEV Projects

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 more links )
  • Professor Andrew Frank of U.C. Davis and his students built a Prius with 25 miles of EV Range and 110-220 Volt Grid Charging

• Wayne Brown ( ev-button discovery, extra batteries, no plug-in )

  HV 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.

• SDSU L3 Prof Jim Burns- Diesel Plugin Hybrid
  • http://www.greencarcongress.com/2004/05/biodiesel_hybri.html This doesn't look like it pluggs in? I'm tempted to remove it.

Pollution & Climate

Need links for items addressing BEV/ICE Pollution (Tailpipes and smokestacks)

Energy Effeciency

Need links for items addressing well to wheel, pump to pavement, or cradle to grave energy effeciency.

Plugging in

It takes but a few seconds to plug in once you reach your destination. Though at the gas pump you need to wait arround and watch the thing, make sure it doesn't overflow, noone takes the prescious juice on your dime. The more you plug into an electrical outlet the less time you have to spend plugging into oil and gas.
