'''Enabling the EV Mode Button, The secret missing feature.'''

The EV Mode Button is a standard part of the Japan and EU Prius but was not installed in the US versions, perhaps because of extended [[Warranty|warranties]] in Ca due to AT-PZEV regulations and qualifications criteria. The US Prius is still entirely aware of the EV Mode though it can never get the signal or command to enter or exit the mode because the wire and button are missing. EV Mode is a very ''enlightening'' feature as it ''encourages'' the Prius to stay in its electric mode for far longer than it normally would.
It will normally drive 1 to 2 miles on a fully charged battery, after which it must restart the engine using gasoline to recharge the battery.
It is not a good idea to fully cycle the battery often as this decreases any battery's life and is not helpful for mileage if used improperly. If used correctly is can be advantageous for times when you know you won't need to start the engine. It's also fun for showing off and offers a small glimpse of the potential of electric vehicles.

The EV Mode function itself is activated and deactivated by momentarily grounding the H14 #27 pin on the HV ECU located behind the glove box(s). [http://www.coastaletech.com/electric_only_mode.htm CoastalTech.com] (ph) has a 3-wire EV Mode Button kit with easy instructions which allows you to turn on and off the EV Mode through the Cruise control stalk.

This [http://www.scubadivervideo.com/Files/factoryEV.pdf factoryEV.pdf] <ref>[[Media:FactoryEV.pdf]] from http://www.scubadivervideo.com/Files/factoryEV.pdf</ref> by ScubaX at [http://priuschat.com/Factory-EV-Switch-Install-t11338.html PriusChat] talks about the OEM EV-Mode button and dimmer switchs white/black wire which is ground(-) and the grey wire which is illumination control, there doesn't appear to be any OEM EV-Mode status indication.
The recirculation button on the steering pad might also make a good EV Mode button but it's not a simple switch and is instead a variable resistance control connected to the climate control system.
You can also take a look at the [[PiPrius conversion process#CAN-View_Version3]] page which discusses one particular PHEV conversion but includes some steps regarding the EV Mode button installation.
The OEM "EV Select Switch + Housing can be acquired at [http://japanparts.com/db/partslist.php?dealer=2&car=12&middlesmall=2%3A41&maker=&volkey= japanparts.com] though any momentary switch can be used.

==How the EV modes work==
* This maillist [http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/eaa-phev/message/1155 Y!]ahoo post describes in more detail what to expect from various EV modes in the Prius.
* [[Hybrids-Plus]] also has a good [http://hybrids-plus.com/pdf/EV_Mode_in_PHEVs.pdf EV_Mode_in_PHEVs.pdf] document.

'''Things that cancel or prevent EV Mode use:'''
* Pushing the EV-Mode button cycles into and out of EV-Mode, if allowed.
* On cold days, heat and defrost will both prevent EV mode if the engine is not warm enough (usually > 150F)
* The battery voltage must remain above 180v.
* The [[CCL]] (Charge Current Limit) must remain above 50A.
* The battery must remain above 45% SOC (2 out of 8 bars).
** The battery must be above 50% SOC (3 out of 8 bars) to engage EV mode.
** The battery must remain below 80% SOC (8 out of 8 bars).
* The traction battery must remain below 120°F
** The traction battery must be below 113°F to engage EV mode.
** (low traction battery temperatures below 40°F will likely result in a [[CCL]] which will prevent EV mode, but a low battery temperature itself will not cancel EV mode.)
* The gas engine (ICE) must be above 32°F (0°C) to engage EV mode.
* The speed must remain below 34mph (55 km/h) (27mph or 44 km/h on the European model).
* The accelerator pedal must not be depressed more than about half to 3/4 of the way down (<=120 out of 255, corresponds to approx. 120A or 24kW).
** Other EV modes such as "Stealth" (up to 42mph) and "Warp-Stealth"/"ICE Spin" (above 42mph with the ICE at ~950 RPMs) regularly occur when there is ample battery energy and low power demand without the use of the EV-Mode Button.

'''Other Notes:'''
* The ICE will start 7 seconds after vehicle startup unless EV-only mode is entered during that time.
** Once the ICE starts the first time during a trip, it will not stop or allow EV-Mode until the catalytic converter has warmed up. During this time, the car is in an EV dominate mode, where the car prefers to use the electric motor instead of the ICE to allow the ICE to slowly warm up.
** Once the catalytic converter has warmed up, in cold weather, the ICE will continue to warm to about 100°F. During this time, while the car will not go into stealth mode, even if stopped, EV mode is available as long as heaters are off.
* The A/C compressor is electric, and the A/C will work while in EV-only mode.
* When the EV-only mode is entered, the hybrid model screen will show. A beep will be heard only if that screen wasn't already showing.
* Three beeps are heard whenever EV-only mode is requested but not allowed, and when it is auto canceled.
* One must wait around five seconds before a new EV-only request is acknowledged.

'''Things you need to add the feature.'''
* 22 gage wire, about 6 feet.
* Standard Phillips screwdriver.
* Small Jeweler's screwdriver.
* Soldering may be required.
* 1/2 to 3 hours of time.
* optional components:
** momentary switch, extra batteries, drop cord?

==Parallel Packs==

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 becoming [[PHEV]] projects.

** http://www.sema.org/main/semaorghome.aspx?ID=50096 '''The Law'''
** Federal law sets forth requirements for warranties and contains a number of provisions to prevent vehicle manufacturers, dealers and others from unjustly denying warranty coverage. With regard to aftermarket parts, the spirit of the law is that warranty coverage cannot be denied simply because such parts are present on the vehicle, or have been used(see [http://www.sema.org/Main/SemaOrgHome.aspx?ID=50100 Attachment A]).The warranty coverage can be denied only if the aftermarket part caused the malfunction or damage for which warranty coverage is sought. Disputes in this area usually boil down to arguments over facts and technical opinions, rather than arguments over interpretations of the law.

Prius OEM fan control

2009-08-16T18:34:30Z

PeterAstrand: Speling error fixed

{{TOCright}}

Cooling for the [[Toyota Prius]] is done with simple air flow from a squirrel cage type fan capable of drawing about 6 amps for ample air flow. Though the Prius almost never runs the fan at full speed. In fact the fan isn't even powered until the battery temperature reaches ''?96°F'' and doesn't attempt to cool aggressively by speeding up the fan until the temperature is well above ''?120°F''. This is perfectly acceptable for normal operation but for certain methods used to convert the car into a [[Prius PHEV]] more cooling is desirable. There are a number of reasons such as:
* The [[Prius EV Mode]] is not allowed if the battery is above 107°F.
* The [[Battery Pack Configurations#Hybrid|Hybrid Battery Pack Configuration]] tends to warm the OEM battery during heavy use due to the charge current which is applied.
* High temperatures limit the Charge Current Limit leading to something similar to the [[State Of Charge Manipulation#Charge Limit Conundrum|CCL Conundrum]].

So for these reasons such conversions have devised methods for overriding the OEM Fan control so that the fan can be run faster in order to keep the battery at a lower target temperature. This may also be handy for stock cars in hot climates and can be easily implemented as a stand alone modification without the full PHEV conversion. Here is how OEM battery fan control is dealt with for a pair of PHEV conversions:
* [[PriusPlus-Theory#OEM Battery Fan Controls]]
** [[PriusPlus-Instructions#OEM Battery Fan Control Tap]]
** [http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/eaa-phev/message/688 Y!:Prius OEM battery fan control info]
* A portion of the [[PiPrius conversion process#Interlock Box]] schematics [[:Image:Interlockschematic.png]] handles OEM fan control for the [[PiPrius]] project.

As an alternative to cutting Prius wires you can purchase the following OEM battery plug and mating pins, though they are not inexpensive:
* OEM battery fan plug pins: Toyota P/N 82998-12380
* OEM battery fan plug mating pins: Toyota P/N 82998-12370

== Stand alone OEM fan control ==
Using the same method employed by the PiPrius conversions [[PiPrius_conversion_process#Interlock_Box|Interlock Box]] you can build a simple stand alone circuit capable of overriding the OEM fan control and running the fan at full speed instead which rapidly removes heat from the OEM battery pack.

=== Parts List ===

[[Image:DSC00387.JPG|thumb|right|Mounted in car near OEM fan.]]
# You will need to cut the OEM can wires between the support clip and the plug which attaches to the fan.
#* There are two green and two violet wires, attach insulated blade crimp connectors to the OEM wires in such a manner that they can be plugged back into their original configuration. Use the same gender on the wires leading to the fan, and the other gender on the other wires which lead to the OEM CPU.
# The Heavy eyelet is used as a ground point and for structural support when mounting the circuit.
#* Use heavy fence wire, or a pliable metal coat hanger (not so heavy that it's difficult to bend). Wrap the wire around the relay socket twice leaving an two inches or so of excess twisting out from one side. You will attach the ground wire and the large eyelet crimp connector to the end of the heavy wire for mounting it to a ground point.
#* Use hot glue to ensure that the wire wrapped around the relay socket can't work it's way off due to vibration.
#* You may also choose to solder the eyelet to the ground wire and heavy wire after crimping.
# Solder the short black ground wire to one of the coil pins of the relay socket and also (or another length) to the NO (Normally Open) pin of one of the relays throws.
# Solder a 12" length of Violet wire to the swinger pin on the same throw. To the other end crimp a blade connector which will mate with the connector leading to the fans Violet wire.
# Solder a long length of White wire to the remaining coil pin on the relay socket, this will be energized with +12v to enable the fan control override so you may want it to reach the drivers seat area.
# Solder a 24" length of Red wire which must also be fused to the unused NO pin of the other throw. This wire will be attached to the +12v accessory battery to power the OEM battery fan.
# Solder a 12" length of Green wire to the unused swinger pin. To the other end crimp a blade connector which will mate with connector leading to the fans Green wire.
# To the remaining two NC (Normally Closed) pins you will need to attach the two 220 ohm 1/4 watt resistors and the 330 uF Alum (Polarized) capacitor, these will fool the Prius CPU into thinking that there is still a fan attached when we disconnect the real fan from it.
## Solder a 12" length of Green wire and one leg of one of the resistors to the Green NC pin (The throw with the Green and Red wires already attached). To the other end of the wire crimp a blade connector which will mate with connector leading to the CPUs Green wire.
## Solder a 12" length of Violet wire, one leg of the other resistor, and the negetive(-) leg of the capacitor to the Violet NC pin (The throw with the Violet and ground wires already attached. To the other end of the wire crimp a blade connector which will mate with connector leading to the CPUs Violet wire.
## Solder the remaining three legs, two resistor legs and positive(+) capacitor leg together, they should not touch any other points.
## Use an insulating material such as hot glue to insure that none of the pins nor components soldered to the relay socket can be touched. We don't want anything to get grounded once it's installed.
# Install by securing the eyelet under the nut which holds a metal bracket with a wire disconnect attached just above the OEM cooling fan. Plug the Green and Violet wires into their proper locations between the CPU and Fan at the splice location. Attach the fused +12v wire to the accessory battery positive(+) post.
# Now any time that the White wire is supplied with +12v the OEM fan should roar to life at full power. You can now program your [[CAN-View]] to turn on the fan at above some temperature such as 95°F. Or you can simply attach the wire to a toggle switch that you can turn on and off, but be sure that the switch is attached to an acc/run +12v source such that if you leave the switch on when the car is off it won't continue to run and drain your accessory battery.

<div style="display:none;">
This div does not appear withing the page but is used to define the references used below.
If multiple ref tags were to appear within the table only the text from the first would be displayed.
Thus we pre-define them here, the only side effect being that the first "a" backlink does nothing.

<ref name=ev_range>
'''EV range [mi]''' or '''All Electric Range (AER)''' Assuming <35 mph, 210 Wh/mile (260 Wh/mi from grid) per http://www.greencarcongress.com/2005/08/solarpoweraugme.html, 1.5 miles is approximately the range with a fully charged stock battery pack</ref>

<ref name=phev_range>
'''PHEV range [mi]''' or ''' [[Blended mode]] Range (BMR)''' During which the mileage is on the order of 100 mpg. Shows range as stated by organization.</ref>

<ref name=safety>
'''Safety''' in case of major accident
# Many Lithium cells will burst in flames if penetrated. However, phosphate cathode LiIon cells (such as [http://www.valence.com/ Valence] and [http://www.a123systems.com/html/company.html A123]) are flame-proof.
# SLA batteries contain lead and sulphuric acid but are spill-proof</ref>

<ref name=charge_time>
'''Charge time [hours]''' From discharged to the point the pack will no longer be used in PHEV, to fully charged.
:''(per Orbital, SLA require 8 hr taper -- done at least once every 3 days -- after near full charge, to reach 100% and prevent sulfation)''</ref>

<ref name=energy>
'''Available energy [KWh]''' Because the [[DOD]] of the stock pack is limited by the Prius, only about 0.3 KWh of its energy is available (used). It is assumed that additional batteries are limited to a DOD range of:
# SLA: 0% down to 50%, due to [[Wikipedia:Peukert's law]] much of the nameplate capacity is unavailable.
# Lithium: 0% down to 90%, has far less Peukert losses and can be safely deep discharged.</ref>

<ref name=spare_tire>
''Spare Tire access''
* '''No''' the original tire well is covered or occupied by the new battery pack and must be secured and stowed in the rear cargo space.
* '''Yes''' the original tire well is accessible.
* '''Opt''' Optionally the battery box may be implemented in such a way to preserve access.</ref>

<ref name=convert_service>

*'''Unknown: ''' Unknown: No public news the last 12 months
*'''Prod:''' Production: Working vehicles on the road, performing conversions or supplying kits.</ref>

<ref name=topology_type>
''Topology Type'':

* '''Hyb''' OEM NiMH battery and additional battery are both utilized in a [[Battery Pack Configurations#Hybrid|hybrid battery pack configuration]], OEM [[BMS]] continues to manage OEM battery.
** '''Con''' Contactors are used to parallel the OEM and PHEV batteries.
** '''DC''' A DC to DC converter is used to move power forward from the PHEV to the OEM Battery.
** '''CV''' The [[CAN-View]] is used to manage the PHEV systems operation.</ref>

PeterAstrand: Plug-In Conversions: Link to battery manufacturer

<div style="display:none;">
This div does not appear withing the page but is used to define the references used below.
If multiple ref tags were to appear within the table only the text from the first would be displayed.
Thus we pre-define them here, the only side effect being that the first "a" backlink does nothing.

<ref name=ev_range>
'''EV range [mi]''' or '''All Electric Range (AER)''' Assuming <35 mph, 210 Wh/mile (260 Wh/mi from grid) per http://www.greencarcongress.com/2005/08/solarpoweraugme.html, 1.5 miles is approximately the range with a fully charged stock battery pack</ref>

<ref name=phev_range>
'''PHEV range [mi]''' or ''' [[Blended mode]] Range (BMR)''' During which the mileage is on the order of 100 mpg. Shows range as stated by organization.</ref>

<ref name=safety>
'''Safety''' in case of major accident
# Many Lithium cells will burst in flames if penetrated. However, phosphate cathode LiIon cells (such as [http://www.valence.com/ Valence] and [http://www.a123systems.com/html/company.html A123]) are flame-proof.
# SLA batteries contain lead and sulphuric acid but are spill-proof</ref>

<ref name=charge_time>
'''Charge time [hours]''' From discharged to the point the pack will no longer be used in PHEV, to fully charged.
:''(per Orbital, SLA require 8 hr taper -- done at least once every 3 days -- after near full charge, to reach 100% and prevent sulfation)''</ref>

<ref name=energy>
'''Available energy [KWh]''' Because the [[DOD]] of the stock pack is limited by the Prius, only about 0.3 KWh of its energy is available (used). It is assumed that additional batteries are limited to a DOD range of:
# SLA: 0% down to 50%, due to [[Wikipedia:Peukert's law]] much of the nameplate capacity is unavailable.
# Lithium: 0% down to 90%, has far less Peukert losses and can be safely deep discharged.</ref>

<ref name=spare_tire>
''Spare Tire access''
* '''No''' the original tire well is covered or occupied by the new battery pack and must be secured and stowed in the rear cargo space.
* '''Yes''' the original tire well is accessible.
* '''Opt''' Optionally the battery box may be implemented in such a way to preserve access.</ref>

<ref name=convert_service>
'''Conversion service:''' done by the PHEV conversion company, at their location.
'''Conversion kit:''' done by the owners in their hometown.</ref>

<ref name=status>
''Project Status'':
*'''Doc: ''' Open Source Documentation in progress.
*'''Dev: ''' Development: Working vehicles on the road but some features still under development.
*'''Prod:''' Production: Working vehicles on the road, performing conversions or supplying kits.</ref>

<ref name=topology_type>
''Topology Type'':
* '''New''' New Battery Pack and [[BMS]], the OEM NiMH battery and BMS are replaced with a [[Battery Pack Configurations#Simple|simple string]].
* '''Hyb''' OEM NiMH battery and additional battery are both utilized in a [[Battery Pack Configurations#Hybrid|hybrid battery pack configuration]], OEM [[BMS]] continues to manage OEM battery.
** '''Con''' Contactors are used to parallel the OEM and PHEV batteries.
** '''DC''' A DC to DC converter is used to move power forward from the PHEV to the OEM Battery.
** '''CV''' The [[CAN-View]] is used to manage the PHEV systems operation.</ref>

PeterAstrand: Create page, with basic information

{{Prius PHEV Options Summary}}{{TOCright}}
'''Plug-In Conversions''' (http://www.pluginconversions.com/) is developing PHEV conversion kits for the '04-06 Prius.

Template:Prius PHEV Options

2007-10-23T18:28:55Z

PeterAstrand: Added data for Plug-In Conversions

<div style="display:none;">
This div does not appear withing the page but is used to define the references used below.
If multiple ref tags were to appear within the table only the text from the first would be displayed.
Thus we pre-define them here, the only side effect being that the first "a" backlink does nothing.

<ref name=ev_range>
'''EV range [mi]''' or '''All Electric Range (AER)''' Assuming <35 mph, 210 Wh/mile (260 Wh/mi from grid) per http://www.greencarcongress.com/2005/08/solarpoweraugme.html, 1.5 miles is approximately the range with a fully charged stock battery pack</ref>

<ref name=phev_range>
'''PHEV range [mi]''' or ''' [[Blended mode]] Range (BMR)''' During which the mileage is on the order of 100 mpg. Shows range as stated by organization.</ref>

<ref name=safety>
'''Safety''' in case of major accident
# Many Lithium cells will burst in flames if penetrated. However, phosphate cathode LiIon cells (such as [http://www.valence.com/ Valence] and [http://www.a123systems.com/html/company.html A123]) are flame-proof.
# SLA batteries contain lead and sulphuric acid but are spill-proof</ref>

<ref name=charge_time>
'''Charge time [hours]''' From discharged to the point the pack will no longer be used in PHEV, to fully charged.
:''(per Orbital, SLA require 8 hr taper -- done at least once every 3 days -- after near full charge, to reach 100% and prevent sulfation)''</ref>

<ref name=energy>
'''Available energy [KWh]''' Because the [[DOD]] of the stock pack is limited by the Prius, only about 0.3 KWh of its energy is available (used). It is assumed that additional batteries are limited to a DOD range of:
# SLA: 0% down to 50%, due to [[Wikipedia:Peukert's law]] much of the nameplate capacity is unavailable.
# Lithium: 0% down to 90%, has far less Peukert losses and can be safely deep discharged.</ref>

<ref name=spare_tire>
''Spare Tire access''
* '''No''' the original tire well is covered or occupied by the new battery pack and must be secured and stowed in the rear cargo space.
* '''Yes''' the original tire well is accessible.
* '''Opt''' Optionally the battery box may be implemented in such a way to preserve access.</ref>

<ref name=convert_service>
'''Conversion service:''' done by the PHEV conversion company, at their location.
'''Conversion kit:''' done by the owners in their hometown.</ref>

<ref name=status>
''Project Status'':
*'''Doc: ''' Open Source Documentation in progress.
*'''Dev: ''' Development: Working vehicles on the road but some features still under development.
*'''Prod:''' Production: Working vehicles on the road, performing conversions or supplying kits.</ref>

<ref name=topology_type>
''Topology Type'':

* '''Hyb''' OEM NiMH battery and additional battery are both utilized in a [[Battery Pack Configurations#Hybrid|hybrid battery pack configuration]], OEM [[BMS]] continues to manage OEM battery.
** '''Con''' Contactors are used to parallel the OEM and PHEV batteries.

PeterAstrand: Link i MyCanScan, removed PHEV Options table stuff

I've been working on the [http://www.calcars.org/sv/ Swedish translation] of the [[CalCars]] web site. I own a -04 Prius and live in Sweden.

I've also created the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mycanscan MyCanScan] project.
