This item is out of date but kept for posterity sake,
please refer to the current PriusPlus project page.

Thought we might put a collection of photos that relate to the physical installation to help visualize just what is involved. There are also a number of Maker Faire Photos of a conversion in progress.

Ron Gremban

These are pictures of Ron Gremban's/CalCars 2004 Prius+ with it's B&B batteries, as seen here. Most are of the batteries and electronics in the tool tray space under the cargo area. I believe These are from the first conversion of Ron's Prius with it's initial battery pack which has since been replaces, it also may not reflect the current state of the Prius+ schematics.
