Toyota Prius with Ewert Energy custom software, 70MPH no gas

Found a nice "DIY" Gen2 (2004-2009) PRIUS PHEV conversion on Priuschat, checkout "pEEf"'s work, very professional and well done, now if we could only get him to either work with a mfr to produce a kit, or put out the detailed info so we could all "DIY" this, without all of the engineering, that would be great...

Sweeet! I envy his skillz!

Pretty much EVERY PHEV conversion will never make sense or have any kind of payback, from a financial viewpoint. There are other reasons to do it though, and if money is all matters, stick with an unmodified prius
