Talk:Prius PHEV

Migration Path

Note: Red links, like EDrive, go to pages which do not yet exist, but may be Wanted pages.

We need to make this Prius PHEV page an overview with links to specific topics. It must take into consideration the other types of Prius PHEV conversions such as the new Hybrid Battery Pack or Parallel Battery Pack setup such as the Hymotion kit aswell as the CalCars PriusPlus and EDrive type Battery Replacement and SOC Manipulation systems. Keep in mind that some of the topics which are currently Prius PHEV specific may be applicable to other vehicles in the near future, for example the Battery Tap Emulator though different dimensions should be equally usefull for nearly all existing hybrids being converted into PHEVs.
