My name is Horacio Calvento and I'm an E.E. and technician in ''(almost)'' all
trades, from Long Island New York,
I manage an electronic repairs store in the area and I own a 2004 Prius. I'm
a participant at [http://www.priuschat.com Priuschat], [http://www.cleanmpg.com CleanMPG] and various Yahoo groups regarding Hybrids with the screen name of "MRBIGH".

I'm a co-founder of Long Island Prius Owners Group and an enthusiast on the
PHEV field, doing my own car upgrades and mod.
I became interested in PHEV after a lot of reading about and now using ( not
very satisfactory) and extra Prius traction battery in my car with a novice
switch over of packs and having a lot of / ! \ signs in the dash board.
I came across [[PriusBlue|Blue Prius]] thru the CalCars modification. Later I learned, while I was representing NY State in
the 2006 [http://www.hybridfest.com Hybridfest] in Madison WI, through another participant with an all
electric vehicle, that your Blue was in the hands of (or better said,
working with him) Rich Rudman and his [http://www.manzanitamicro.com Manzanita Micro] hardware.
I finally spoke with him yesterday for over an hour, July 31, and he give me
some explanations of the actual hardware in use and the perspective of
having a kit available soon, of which I'm interested to use based on my
needs and $$$ availability.
The extra traction Batt doesn't cut my cake and the BMS is a pain to figure
out and crack down.
So I would like to continue the updates and progress that Rich and you have
in your Blue, to see if I can contribute with some things from the other
side of the country and also to be a pioneer in the area having another PHEV
hand made at a more reasonable cost than [[Hymotion]] that is not ready yet to
do sales.
The talk that they are doing some fleet doesn't add to the lack of data they
need to present for real sales; at least, this is the impression given to me
at Madison by their reps when I presented then with a future business/franchise proposition.

-I ordered one of the first PFC40HM converters from Manzanita Micro in "production" and after a confirmed ONE month delivery time it took over 3 months for it to show at my door steps and with-out any technical paperwork supplied for the proper connections(I got really screwed by the fabricator),    the conversion of my "DUAL PWR-PHEV" was successfully after a cumbersome negotiation with Rich Rudman ('''not recommended to other members''') and completed by mid December 2006 and presented to the public and assisting media in our monthly LIPOG.ORG meet-up.
