Current '''Hybrids''' (HEV) such as the [[Honda Insight]] and [[Toyota Prius]], unfortunently, are not [[WikiPedia:Battery electric vehicle|electric vehicle]]s, as they can not use electricity as an external fuel source.  Rather they are gas cars that can do some electric car tricks, but not the most important one which is the ability to not use gassoline as fuel, so they may become the missing link of vehicles.  By not burning combustables in a heat engine which is unlikely to maximize the utilization of it's waste heat as would [[WikiPedia:Cogeneration|Cogeneration]], current hybrids still waste most of the energy content of their fuel.  Rather than a way to transition away from gasoline they are merely a way to slightly reduce consumption.  It's the transitioning away from gas as a fuel source which should be a major transportation development priority, as the president said '''"[[SEVA:User:Rjf#State of the Union 2005|America is addicted to oil]]"''', Plug-In Hybrids may be a big part of the solution.

Since currently no production [[PHEV]]s exist, Hybrid Conversions are hybrids which have been modifies such that they can use gas or electricity as sources of fuel, they can plug-in to fuel up with gas or electricity.  These are usually one-of-a-kind modified hybrids.

Formed in 1967 in San Jose, California, the [[EAA]] is a non-profit educational organization that promotes the advancement and widespread adoption of Electric Vehicles.  This EAA-PHEV project began in October of 2005 in order to expand those efforts into the [[PHEV]] area by providing general information to curious parties and detailed conversion instruction to help guide experienced EV Converters through the process.

Hybrids can be clasified as [[Series Hybrid]]s like diesel locomotives, very heavy machinery, and EV's with pushers or on board generators; [[Parallel Hybrid]]s such as the Honda's [[IMA]] [[WikiPedia:Integrated Motor Assist]]; and [[Series-Parallel Hybrid]]s like Toyota's [[HSD]] [[WikiPedia:Hybrid Synergy Drive]], Ford's [[Full Hybrid System]] [[WikiPedia:Ford Escape Hybrid]], and General Motors and DaimlerChrysler's [[AHS2]] [[WikiPedia:Advanced Hybrid System 2]].

There have been a number of sucessful 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|Valance]] 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 120vac outlets. They can operate as pure EV's at speeds up to 34mph for the range of their larger batteries, which is about 10 miles for PbA and 30 miles with Li-ion batteries. They also delivering vastly improved mileage at higher speeds in an EV-Heavy type of [[Mixed-mode]] which delivers roughly twice the gas mileage durring 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.

Formed in 1967 in San Jose, California, the EAA is a non-profit educational organization that promotes the advancement and widespread adoption of Electric Vehicles. This EAA-PHEV project began in October of 2005 in order to expand those efforts into the PHEV area by providing general information to curious parties and detailed conversion instruction to help guide experienced EV Converters through the process.

Prius PHEVs

There have been a number of sucessful Prius conversions. Ron of CalCars has a PbA conversion named PriusPlus and EDrive is expected to use Valance 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 120vac outlets. They can operate as pure EV's at speeds up to 34mph for the range of their larger batteries, which is about 10 miles for PbA and 30 miles with Li-ion batteries. They also delivering vastly improved mileage at higher speeds in an EV-Heavy type of Mixed-mode which delivers roughly twice the gas mileage durring 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.
