<div>{{Prius PHEV Options Summary}}{{TOCright}}<br />
<br />
A [[WikiPedia:Plug-in hybrid|W:'''P'''lug-in '''H'''ybrid '''E'''lectric '''V'''ehicle]] (PHEV) or gas-electric ''hybrid fueled'' vehicle is a [[hybrid]] which has additional battery capacity and the ability to be recharged from an external electrical outlet. In addition, modifications to the vehicle's control software may be required. The vehicle can be used for short trips of moderate speed without needing the [[WikiPedia:Internal combustion engine|W:internal combustion engine]] (ICE) component of the vehicle, thereby saving fuel costs. In this mode of operation the vehicle operates as a pure [[WikiPedia:Battery electric vehicle|W:battery electric vehicle]] (BEV) with a weight penalty (the ICE). The long range and additional power of the ICE power train is available when needed.<br />
<br />
PHEVs are commonly called "grid-connected hybrids," "gas-optional hybrids" (GO-HEVs), "full hybrids," and are sometimes called PHEV-30 for instance, to denote a hybrid with a 30-mile (50 km) electric range. Compared to a HEV-0 (a non-plug-in hybrid), or BEV/PHEV-300 in the case of the 300 mile [[SEVA:tzero|tzero]] EV with its gasoline-fueled range extending trailer. While Ford, GM, and Toyota have all used the term "Full Hybrid Technology" to describe configurations that allow electric-only operation at low speeds, they can not plug in to recharge the battery. Two other PHEV names used by a major U.S. automotive supplier and in a 1999 SAE paper are '''"energy hybrids"''' and '''"true hybrids"'''. PHEVs can also operate in a [[blended mode]] where both gasoline and external electricity are used simultaneously to increase gasoline mileage for a particular range, usually double that of its electric-only range. Connected vehicles also make possible [[Vehicle-to-grid]] applications which could provide many advantages to both grid operators and vehicle owners.<br />
<br />
==Prius PHEVs==<br />
<br />
There have been a number of successful Prius conversions. Ron of [http://calcars.org CalCars] has a [[SEVA:PbA|PbA]] conversion named [[PriusPlus]] and [[EDrive]] is expected to use [[SEVA:Li#Valence_-_Unique|Valence]] Li-ion batteries in conversions for consumers. Both are based on the 2004 or newer ''(Gen2)'' [[Toyota Prius]] and are now capable of charging from the grid using standard 120V AC outlets. They can operate as pure EV's at speeds up to 34 mph for the range of their larger batteries, which is about 10 miles for PbA and 30 miles with Li-ion batteries. They are also delivering vastly improved mileage at higher speeds in an EV-Heavy type of [[blended mode]] which delivers roughly twice the gasoline mileage during trips of twice their electric ranges ''(20 and 60 miles)''. Of course one should also consider the electric power required to recharge in these 100+ mpg situations (<$1 per gallon equivalent). During extended drives they operate just as a normal Prius and deliver their usual mileage. A purpose build PHEV would most likely be freeway capable in an electric only mode just like [[SEVA:Electric vehicle]]s are. [[Enginer]]'s affordable and universal plugin conversion kits can be easily retrofit into Gen 1, 2 and 3 Prius as well as other hybrids (tested on Honda Insight Gen 1, Gen2, Ford Escape Hybrid, Toyata Camry Hybrid, Lexus RX400H, Lexus LS250H).<br />

<hr />
<div>{{TOCright}}<br />
Honda Hybrids are [[Parallel Hybrids]] which at first glance wouldn't seem to benefit much from a PHEV conversion as they don't have an EV-mode like the [[Toyota Prius]]. However by using a larger battery the 10kW [[IMA]] could be run in a constant assist mode to displace gas consumption and push the mileage well into the 100's on the freeway. The [[Honda Insight|Insight]] is a very light and aerodynamic vehicle which makes it rather attractive for conversion. Of course, untill someone actually tries it we can't say for sure how well it would work, if at all.<br />
<br />
See the [[Template:Terms|Terms]] page is you aren't familiar with some of the acronyms used throughout the documentation.<br />
Also be aware of the [[Template:Disclaimer|Disclaimer]] should you be considering doing a conversion yourself.<br />
<br />

<br />
==PHEV Insight via MIMA==<br />
There is a '''[[MIMA]]''' '''M'''anual '''IMA''' ''(Integrated Motor Assist)'' control project which provides manual control over the IMA (Assist/Regen) on the [[Honda Insight]]. While not a PHEV project it might make it possible to utilize additional battery capacity in a [[Mixed-mode]] similar to [[Prius PHEV]]s at speeds greater than 34mph.<br />
<br />
MIMA would allow the driver to set an Aggressive Assist type profile allowing the IMA to contribute up to 10kW of continuous power. This would rapidly deplete the stock battery which may reach empty within 5 minutes or 5 miles. Some Insight drivers may already be familiar with Recalibration Events, ''Recals'', which are essentially the manifestation or the [[State Of Charge Drift]] portion of the vehicles battery management routines. While the most common Racals are negative and occur when the SOC reaches a lower limit, it is also possible to recalibrate or drift up if the SOC is determined to be higher than expected. Such behavior makes possible [[State Of Charge Manipulation]] by simply keeping the battery's voltage or perceived voltage near the upper limit.<br />
<br />
Technically, as long as the lower SOC limit is not reached, MIMA makes it possible to command any desired level of IMA assistance which diminishes the importance of SOC Manipulation. Both simple and hybrid [[Battery Pack Configurations]] would be equally effective in such a conversion because of the previous point. A hybrid pack would leave the stock battery in place and might eliminate the need for a [[Battery Tap Emulator]], yet a simple configuration replacing the NiMH pack with a superior [[SEVA:Li|Lithium]] battery would maximize energy density and keep vehicle weight well under 2000lbs. A [[Battery Chargers|battery charger]] would be required and might also double as a hybrid pack's power regulation device which could lessen the constraints on choosing a battery packs geometry ''(voltage, cells, or number of batteries)''.<br />
<br />
We're not yet sure how this would affect your [[Warranty]].<br />

He is using a Metric Mind Siemens 5105WS12 AC Motor, Siemens AC SIMOVERT 6SV short inverter, and the original manual transmission without the clutch. The battery pack was originally (168V) fourteen 12v 38Ah Hawker Genesis and now consists of (309V) eighty-six ThunderSky 90AH 3.6V LiIon cells, charged with a Manzanita Micro PFC50 10KW. His range was 20 miles with 9 year old Hawkers and should be 230 miles with Li-Ion. Curb Weight is 2100 pounds from the original 1850. ''Technically this should appear on the [[SEVA:Conversions]] page.''<br />

The Ford Escape Hybrid is the first commercially available SUV HEV. It uses a [[Series-Parallel]] power-train similar to the [[Toyota Prius]]. While Ford used some of Toyota's HEV patents, the Escape was designed independently of the Prius, and therefore its technical details are very different from the Prius. Algorithms and codes used in Prius PHEV conversion are useless in Escape PHEV conversion. The Escape lends itself to PHEV conversion, because it is a strong HEV, meaning that its electric motor is capable of a significant portion of its traction. More information about the non-PHEV Escape is found in the [[Ford Escape Hybrid]] page.<br />
<br />
== PHEV conversions ==<br />
Escape PHEV conversions are more expensive than Prius conversions because they are heavier and less aerodynamic vehicles. As such more energy is required to operate them so they require more battery capacity to match the [[All-electric range]] ([[AER]]) of smaller vehicle. Even so there are legitimate needs for such vehicles depending on the load carrying requirements and more challenging terrains which some people must deal with regularly. In the end PHEV technology is just as applicable to such heavier SUVs and Trucks. In fact the superior torque of electric power-trains may be preferable in such vehicles.<br />
<br />
A major push towards conversion of the Escape came from [http://nyserda.org/ NYSERDA]'s [http://www.nyserda.org/includes/funding_content_pop.asp?i=PON%201088 New York State Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Technology Initiative], whose Phase 1 granted contracts to 3 companies to convert the Escape.<br />
These companies are working on Escape PHEV conversions.<br />
* [[Hymotion]], first one to announce a conversion, offered just to fleets; winner of a NYSERDA contract to make 1 conversion. Converted a few vehicles. No longer offering Escape conversions.<br />
* [[Hybrids-Plus]], winner of a NYSERDA contract to make 1 conversion. Currently the only company offering Escape PHEVs. Nine conversions to date, and actively taking more orders. <br />
* [http://www.electrovaya.com/ Electrovaya], winner of a NYSERDA contract to make 1 conversion. Not actively doing any more Escape conversions.<br />
* [[Enginer]] is offering 4KWH PHEV Conversion kits to Escape PHEV pilot testers.<br />
<br />
Individuals have also converted Escape SUVs.<br />
*Jim Bohorquez, formerly of [http://mesapower.com/ Mesa Power], has converted a standard Ford Escape (not a Hybrid) to a parallel PHEV, by disconnecting the rear axle from the engine and driving it with an electric motor. The motor is powered with NiMH cells recycled from Prius PHEV conversions. The battery is charged exclusively from the power grid, through a Mesa Power UPS charger.<br />

<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
Anecdotal evidence gathered by [[Hybrids-Plus]]' sales department shows that SUV owners' main rationale to wanting to convert a Hybrid SUV to PHEV is environmental. Yet, an [http://www.nrel.gov/ NREL] study shows that the environment would be better served by people driving an efficient, standard sedan than an SUV, albeit a PHEV one. The availability of PHEV SUVs would actually be environmentally more harmful than not having them, as it would allow more and more drivers to use a false environmental rationale to continue buying SUVs over buying more efficient sedans. While there are certainly valid uses for Trucks and SUVs those who don't honestly need such vehicles would be better served by choosing a more appropriate car for their needs. --[[User:DavideAndrea|DavideAndrea]] 06:41, 24 December 2006 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:SUV Owner's rational: I want an AWD vehicle capable of moving my entire family and all the stuff (bicycles, scooters, surfboards) that I regularly transport on a daily basis. It also needs to be able to get us out camping and skiing. I'd happily make do with something like a PHEV Subaru Forester, but such a thing doesn't exist. A study that shows that the environment would be better off using a tricycle might be accurate, but entirely irrelevent.<br />
<br />
:My personal take is that while all individuals have the right to act ''irresponsible'' by driving large vehicles with more capabilities than they will ever fully utilize, if such vehicles could be plugged in then at the very least there is the potential for them to be partially or entirely fueled from clean domestic resources. As such the driver of an Electric SUV that will never see a snow drift or mud puddle could act ''irresponsibly'' with less impact on other people and our common environment. The same could be said for sports cars that will never see a race track, road course, or drag strip. In the end everyone wants an electric vehicle with more Torque and quicker acceleration which uses far less energy, the problem is that they just don't know how much they want them yet. --[[User:Rjf|Rjf]] 06:35, 7 July 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
::For the individual who feels it is “irresponsible” to drive an SUV, having an attitude that ignore the facts that some SUV are justified to use does not drive the research, the size and fuel economy of mid sized SUV like the Ford Escape are the perfect type of vehicles for PHEV. With the larger cargo capacity they can take a larger capacity of batteries, and with the larger roof size, solar cells can be added to supply some charge. Once again ignoring the facts and trying to demean other solutions is not the way for alternative solutions to develop. --Anonymous 10:53, 16 December 2007 (CDT)<br />

<div>{{Prius PHEV Options Summary}}{{TOCright}}<br />
<br />
A [[WikiPedia:Plug-in hybrid|W:'''P'''lug-in '''H'''ybrid '''E'''lectric '''V'''ehicle]] (PHEV) or gas-electric ''hybrid fueled'' vehicle is a [[hybrid]] which has additional battery capacity and the ability to be recharged from an external electrical outlet. In addition, modifications to the vehicle's control software may be required. The vehicle can be used for short trips of moderate speed without needing the [[WikiPedia:Internal combustion engine|W:internal combustion engine]] (ICE) component of the vehicle, thereby saving fuel costs. In this mode of operation the vehicle operates as a pure [[WikiPedia:Battery electric vehicle|W:battery electric vehicle]] (BEV) with a weight penalty (the ICE). The long range and additional power of the ICE power train is available when needed.<br />
<br />
PHEVs are commonly called "grid-connected hybrids," "gas-optional hybrids" (GO-HEVs), "full hybrids," and are sometimes called PHEV-30 for instance, to denote a hybrid with a 30-mile (50 km) electric range. Compared to a HEV-0 (a non-plug-in hybrid), or BEV/PHEV-300 in the case of the 300 mile [[SEVA:tzero|tzero]] EV with its gasoline-fueled range extending trailer. While Ford, GM, and Toyota have all used the term "Full Hybrid Technology" to describe configurations that allow electric-only operation at low speeds, they can not plug in to recharge the battery. Two other PHEV names used by a major U.S. automotive supplier and in a 1999 SAE paper are '''"energy hybrids"''' and '''"true hybrids"'''. PHEVs can also operate in a [[blended mode]] where both gasoline and external electricity are used simultaneously to increase gasoline mileage for a particular range, usually double that of its electric-only range. Connected vehicles also make possible [[Vehicle-to-grid]] applications which could provide many advantages to both grid operators and vehicle owners.<br />
<br />
==Prius PHEVs==<br />
<br />
There have been a number of successful Prius conversions. Ron of [http://calcars.org CalCars] has a [[SEVA:PbA|PbA]] conversion named [[PriusPlus]] and www.ElectroTorque.com has a fantastic new kit that costs only 1650.00 for 2010 prius[[EDrive]] is expected to use [[SEVA:Li#Valence_-_Unique|Valence]] Li-ion batteries in conversions for consumers. Both are based on the 2004 or newer ''(Gen2)'' [[Toyota Prius]] and are now capable of charging from the grid using standard 120V AC outlets. They can operate as pure EV's at speeds up to 34 mph for the range of their larger batteries, which is about 10 miles for PbA and 30 miles with Li-ion batteries. They are also delivering vastly improved mileage at higher speeds in an EV-Heavy type of [[blended mode]] which delivers roughly twice the gasoline mileage during trips of twice their electric ranges ''(20 and 60 miles)''. Of course one should also consider the electric power required to recharge in these 100+ mpg situations (<$1 per gallon equivalent). During extended drives they operate just as a normal Prius and deliver their usual mileage. A purpose build PHEV would most likely be freeway capable in an electric only mode just like [[SEVA:Electric vehicle]]s are. [[Enginer]]'s affordable and universal plugin conversion kits can be easily retrofit into Gen 1, 2 and 3 Prius as well as other hybrids.<br />

<br />
<ref name=ev_range><br />
'''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><br />
<br />
<ref name=phev_range><br />
'''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><br />

<ref name=safety><br />
'''Safety''' in case of major accident<br />
# 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.<br />
# SLA batteries contain lead and sulphuric acid but are spill-proof</ref><br />
<br />
<ref name=charge_time><br />
'''Charge time [hours]''' From discharged to the point the pack will no longer be used in PHEV, to fully charged.<br />
:''(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><br />
<br />
<ref name=energy><br />
'''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:<br />
# SLA: 0% down to 50%, due to [[Wikipedia:Peukert's law]] much of the nameplate capacity is unavailable.<br />
# Lithium: 0% down to 90%, has far less Peukert losses and can be safely deep discharged.</ref><br />
<br />
<ref name=spare_tire><br />
''Spare Tire access''<br />
* '''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.<br />
* '''Yes''' the original tire well is accessible.<br />
* '''Opt''' Optionally the battery box may be implemented in such a way to preserve access.</ref><br />
<br />
<ref name=convert_service><br />
'''Conversion service:''' done by the PHEV conversion company, at their location.<br />
'''Conversion kit:''' done by the owners in their hometown.</ref><br />

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

<br />
<ref name=energy><br />
'''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:<br />
# SLA: 0% down to 50%, due to [[Wikipedia:Peukert's law]] much of the nameplate capacity is unavailable.<br />
# Lithium: 0% down to 90%, has far less Peukert losses and can be safely deep discharged.</ref><br />

<ref name=spare_tire><br />
''Spare Tire access''<br />
* '''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.<br />

==News==<br />
* 2009.05.31 - [http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200344551230 Enginer announce their 2KWH kits are now available to consumers].<br />
** purchase price is $1995 (plus a $95 “destination fee”) for a 2 KWh pack with a 3 hour charge time, 20 PHEV miles, and adding 75 kg.<br />
<br />
Initially, Chinese company Enginer is offering the<br />
PHEV upgrade in two models: the 2kWh/4kWh for the [[Toyota Prius|Prius]] and the 4kWh L12 for<br />
the [[Ford Escape Hybrid|Ford hybrid SUVs]]. This innovation is not expensive. The kit will pay for itself in 2-3 years.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
<br />
So Enginer will sell 1000 units for $1,200 each, 100 units for $1,500, or a single unit for $1995 plus an undetermined installation charge or the option of self installation after receiving training.<br />

==About the Open Source PriusPlus Project==<br />
The PriusPlus project is an open source project set up to develop a method to convert a '04-'07 Toyota Prius into a Plug-in Hybrid. The project is a combination of hardware and software development to allow qualified individuals or individuals working with a qualified electrician to convert their own car to a [[PHEV]].<br />
<br />
==Current Status==<br />
While the documentation is not yet as thorough as would be desired, the necessary information is available to complete a conversion. Please use the links above to navigate to the various documentation pages. Many photos are available on the RawData page.<br />

Another avid Prius enthusiast named Cheap! is currently in the process of his own conversion using CalCars PriusPlus processes and documenting his progress at [http://priuschat.com/My-official-Prius-Plus-mods-thread-t26951.html priuschat].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
{{TOCright}}<br />
<br />
The PriusPlus conversion retains the OEM hybrid battery and its management computer while adding a lead-acid pack consisting of 20 BB Battery EVP20-12B 12V, 20 Amp-hour sealed AGM PbA batteries. PbA battery chemistry is very inexpensive but leads to significant limitations (see below). However, with this relatively inexpensive conversion (as little as $4000 parts cost, including the battery) you can be the first in your community to actually own and drive a plug-in hybrid, and you can achieve 100+ mpg (plus electricity) for 15-20 miles/day!<br />
<br />
News flash (Sept '07): Reasonably-priced conversion options using Nilar NiMH packs of 3 sizes and possibly PSI Li-ion phosphate packs are now becoming available, as well as pre-built battery boxes and wiring harnesses. Stay tuned for details.<br />
<br />
Though we are using the best and most cost-effective PbA modules we could find, a PbA PHEV is neither economically nor operationally up to par. But as of now, it is the only relatively inexpensive way to own and drive a real PHEV. More advanced batteries are on the way and may well be available by the time (1-2 years from now) the PbA battery needs replacement (see below for specifics.)<br />
<br />
Below is a fairly comprehensive list of our public domain PbA Prius conversion’s advantages, operating and mechanical characteristics, and limitations:<br />
<br />
===Advantages===<br />
*Detailed instructions for easy installation by anyone trained in high-voltage safety<br />
*Pure electric propulsion at up to 34 mph for up to 10-12 miles per charge<br />
*Lower gasoline use at all speeds until the PHEV battery is depleted<br />
*Displacement of gasoline:<br />
**at an equivalent energy cost of less than $1.00/gallon (at up to $0.09/kWh), possibly using low-cost nighttime electricity if your utility provides optional time-of-use metering<br />
**with renewable electricity, if you have solar panels on your home or specifically buy electricity from renewable sources<br />
*No modification of the Prius’ hybrid propulsion system, for uncompromised vehicle reliability<br />
*Several selectable text and graphics display screens for real-time observation of hybrid system and PHEV parameters<br />
*A pull-out power cord that plugs into any standard U.S. 15A, 120VAC outlet or a mounted bumper inlet<br />
*An interlock to prevent driving away while the battery charger is still plugged into a live electrical outlet<br />
<br />
===Prius-forced limitations===<br />
*This conversion will no doubt void parts of Toyota’s warranty. U.S. law prohibits aftermarket modifications from voiding any part of a vehicle’s warranty except for problems specifically caused by the modification. If repair of the OEM battery, transaxle, or other parts of the hybrid system becomes necessary, Toyota may argue that the PHEV modification has caused the problem. The outcome is uncertain, see also our [[Warranty]] article.<br />
*EV-only mode (which inhibits ICE operation) works only up to 34 mph, 120A of power (modest acceleration), and a few more obscure limits<br />
*The conversion’s data display can share the vehicle’s multifunction display screen only in 2004-5 Prii; later models require an additional display screen (optional on 2004-5 Prii).<br />
*When the Prius starts the ICE for the first time after being turned on, the ICE must warm up for several minutes before EV mode can be re-entered. This process burns more fuel than normal.<br />
*The charge / discharge limits are affected by the temperature of the OEM battery.<br />
<br />
===PbA limitations===<br />
*The conversion adds 300+ lbs to the vehicle’s weight to provide 10 miles of electric range per charge (16.7 usable Wh/kg)<br />
**Though I have safely driven 17,000 miles in my converted Prius, the added weight could possibly cause vehicle instability during driving, and the battery may modify the effectiveness of the vehicle’s rear crush zone.<br />
**Existing conversions sit 1-2 inches low in the rear. Air shocks or heavier-duty rear springs would be nice, but have not yet been developed.<br />
**Though there are indications that improved hybrid efficiency due to a lower combined internal resistance of the two-battery combination at least partially compensates for the added weight, city gasoline mileage is otherwise reduced by up to 10%.<br />
*Operating costs are high due to an expected cycle life of only 300-400 deep cycles, providing only one to two years of daily driving (at 400 cycles, 10 electric miles per 2.1 kWh cycle, and $800/pack, battery cost is $0.95/kWh throughput or $0.20/electric-mile (in addition to the cost of electricity, usually 2-4 cents/mile depending on utility rates).<br />
*For decent battery life, the battery must always be charged within a day of discharge, making charging a required rather than optional operation (if planning to drive to somewhere without access to electricity, temporarily turn off PHEV operation).<br />
*PbA batteries perform very poorly in cold weather. Though our design includes a thermally insulated battery pack, heated during charging, this feature has been insufficiently tested due to moderate California temperatures during development.<br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
*Potentially lethal voltages are involved. It is important for the high-voltage wiring to be done by an electrician or an engineer experienced with high-voltage safety.<br />
**Once the conversion is complete, all high voltages are inside screw- or bolt-secured areas, but these areas are exposed during parts of the conversion process, during battery replacement and other servicing, and possibly after a crash.<br />
**In keeping with hybrid automotive standards, high voltage cabling is labeled with orange (as #4 gauge and larger orange wire is not readily available, we specify the addition of orange shrink-wrap at each end)<br />
*This design should be adequate to contain the batteries in any normal driving conditions, but extreme or off-road maneuvers could damage the installation, potentially causing a hazard.<br />
*More importantly, though we believe the parts are well-secured, we are not automotive design engineers, the design has not been crash-tested, and its characteristics during and after a crash are unknown. In particular, it is uncertain whether the battery box would remain intact and in place during a roll-over incident.<br />
**PbA modules could tear out of their brackets and fly around the passenger compartment<br />
**Though these AGM PbA modules are not flooded, they could leak acid if crushed.<br />
**Short circuits could arise, causing sparks, hot, molten metal, and possibly igniting a fire.<br />
**The battery pack may modify the characteristics of the vehicle’s rear crush zone.<br />
<br />
===Operational characteristics===<br />
*Entry into EV-only mode is automated. Manual entry is also available. Due to a complex interaction with Toyota’s battery management computer, EV-only mode is unavailable for a short distance (usually less than ½ block) after slowing down from highway speeds.<br />
*The paralleling of the PHEV battery to the OEM battery is switched on and off as needed. Occupants will hear the contactor periodically doing this, but will not directly feel any effects from it.<br />
*When the PHEV battery is fully charged, EV-only mode can be sustained up a steep, extended hill at maximum allowable EV-only power (100-120A). At lower states of charge, the voltage may fall, causing the engine to start.<br />
*When going down a long hill at low PHEV battery SOC, some regenerative current does flow back into the PHEV battery. This effect, however, is not as large as would be desirable.<br />
*The Prius’ hybrid system allows EV-only mode only when the OEM battery temperature is below 107 deg F, but non-EV-only maximum battery temperature is enough higher that Toyota’s battery cooling system does not work hard to avoid exceeding 107 degrees. The conversion modifies this system so that the fan comes on at full speed whenever OEM battery temperature is above approximately 90 deg F. This almost always keeps OEM battery temperature within EV-only range, but is somewhat noisy.<br />
<br />
===Other characteristics===<br />
*It will probably be helpful at various points to refer to specific Prius Service Manual<ref>awaiting url to Prius Service Manual website.</ref> pages, available for download by paying Toyota $10/day for access (only one day is needed).<br />
*The mechanical design is sturdy and simple. It should be easy for anyone mechanically inclined to build; even more so if and when various prefabricated parts become available.<br />
*This conversion includes a simple and inexpensive insulated battery box that is both air-cooled when necessary and heated as needed, but only during charging.<br />
**The thermostatically-controlled cooling fans need only run at high ambient temperatures, to keep battery temperatures below 120 deg F. However, they are also run during non-heated charging to ensure any venting of the modules is flushed to outside the passenger compartment.<br />
*PbA batteries have increasingly poor operating characteristics at low temperatures, starting around 55 deg F. We thermally insulate and heat them to retain their usefulness down to lower ambient temperatures. An advantage of retaining the OEM battery for normal hybrid operation is that poor PbA cold-weather performance affects only PHEV, not normal hybrid, operation.<br />
**Since we have not come up with a scheme to heat the battery pack from waste engine heat, and electric heating from the battery would be unproductive, we heat electrically only during charging. This should keep the battery pack sufficiently warm for effective charging and for several hours thereafter in most climates. The system has not been sufficiently tested, however, due to very moderate California weather during development.<br />
**Heating is accomplished via ordinary drugstore electric heating pads, thermostatically controlled via a thermistor and powered by the AC line during charging. They consume about 100 watts when in use, so overnight heating can add 1 kWh, or around 25%, to cold-weather electricity consumption.<br />
<br />
===Planned Enhancements/Options===<br />
*A new version of the logic board has been designed, as much as possible, to accomodate a DC:DC converter such as the Manzanita Micro PFC-40, various battery chemistries, various separate PHEV battery management systems (BMS), and digital data acquisition.<br />
*[http://www.manzanitamicro.com Manzanita Micro] is designing a [[PiPrius]] PHEV conversion kit for sale, using a lower-voltage pack of larger PbA batteries and their [http://manzanitamicro.com/chargers3.htm PFC-40 charger] as both a charger and DC:DC converter between batteries. It is our intention to develop a version of this conversion that uses the PFC-40 in the same ways. It will probably require the next version of our logic board, and will have the following relative characteristics:<br />
**Advantages<br />
***Lower peak currents in both batteries, due to a 40A current limit between them<br />
***Increased regenerative braking back into the PHEV battery, mainly valuable during extended downhill grades<br />
***Possibly slightly longer EV range, due to the above advantages<br />
***A range of PHEV battery voltages can be accommodated.<br />
***Various battery chemistries can be used and accurately kept within their specifications by the required battery management system (BMS).<br />
***Because the PHEV battery must have a BMS, it is possible to more carefully control its minimum state-of-charge (SOC), thereby more carefully trading off useful capacity vs. cycle life. <br />
**Disadvantages<br />
***During charge, the battery pack is not isolated from input power. This means extra care must be taken to electrically insulate the battery pack from the vehicle chassis, the hybrid system, and all possible human contact points.<br />
***The batteries are not kept in parallel during post-PHEV hybrid operations, possibly limiting hybrid efficiency to that of an unmodified Prius. More complex PFC-40 switching may minimize or eliminate this effect.<br />
***Unless voltage minima and maxima turn out to be sufficient cues, a battery management system (BMS), including reasonably accurate state-of-charge (SOC) measurement, will be required to maintain SOC limits.<br />
<br />
===Advanced batteries===<br />
*More advanced batteries may be retrofittable to the conversion. This will probably require upgrading to CalCars’ not-yet-designed next version of logic board, and will also probably require additional battery management electronics. Any new battery’s enclosure, mounting, and thermal management system will no doubt also be very different.<br />

<br />
===Parts availability===<br />
All parts are off-the-shelf with the following exceptions:<br />
*the logic board<br />
**Once we know demand, we will order a bunch fabricated. Post-fabrication rework is also required due to major architectural changes since its inception.<br />
**A reworked, stuffed, and fully-tested form of this board may be made available at some point. If so, it will probably cost hundreds of dollars and save 20-40 hours of parts purchase, identification, stuffing, soldering, and testing.<br />
**We do plan to redesign this board in the future, using IC logic, a PLA, and/or a microcontroller. The new version will probably be required for eventual upgrade of a conversion to use a more advanced battery pack.<br />
*a version of [http://www.hybridinterfaces.ca CAN-View] with relays to control the conversion. 2006+ Prii require a version capable of driving an add-on touch-screen; this should be available by the time anyone needs it.<br />
*a charger designed for the PbA battery pack. Three options are planned:<br />
**a Delta-q charger (http://www.delta-q.com) designed for the PbA battery pack, at a projected price of $800. We are in discussions with the company and will soon know if/when pre-production units will be available; UL-approved units are likely to be available in 2007.<br />
**the Brusa NLG503 charger, available through http://www.metricmind.com/index1.htm for $2650 retail including cables (a group rate is possible). Users can reprogram this charger for other voltages and battery chemistries, so it would be a good purchase for developers anticipating an eventual high-tech replacement battery.<br />
**(eventually) the Manzanita Micro PFC-40 charger, available through http://manzanitamicro.com for around $2000. This charger has programmable but less sophisticated charging algorithms, but can also double as a high-power DC:DC converter between the battery packs. Its output is ''not'' line isolated. Its incorporation will require modifications/enhancements of this conversion, and control circuitry and algorithms that have not yet been developed.<br />
*mechanical parts that require fabrication from off-the-shelf pieces such as angle aluminum and sheets of ABS, plexiglass, and/or lexan (polycarbonate)<br />
**Some of these parts may eventually become available prefabricated.<br />
*we, or some other supplier or affiliate, may offer various components to speed and simplify the conversion. We’re interested (see the [[Conversion Interest]] page) in knowing how much interest there is for pre-assembled (or at least pre-cut) components, at a higher cost than fabrication via you own free labor but no doubt lower than what you would have to pay a fabricator.<br />
<br />
The table below outlines approximate component costs, as well as estimated labor costs for component fabrication or assembly. A range is given, as the number of components made and where they are done has a great bearing on the final cost. We are not fabricators, professional assemblers, or product retailers, so these are guesses as to what a for-profit company or craftsman would charge. If a great number of kits or components are desired, offshore fabricators may beat these estimates by a lot.<br />
