Heads-up from Ron Gremban, 3/10/06:
+
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.

In the next few days, I will be making a large set of revisions to these schematics, to:
 
−
* Add the ability to switch back to the OEM battery pack at will (important for PbA battery packs, which are unreliable at low temperatures, and during the testing process)
 
−
* Improve compatability with CAN-View, which will now be the first and recommended BMS spoofing and EV-mode automation system (I am actively working with Norm, CAN-View's creator, to ensure effective automation algorithms)
 
−
* Move all high voltage circuitry off the low power control board
 
−
As part of a [[http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/calcars-news/message/316 Prius conversion]] to be done over the course of the [[http://makezine.com/faire/ Maker Faire]], April 22-23, we will be dramatically improving the documentation of the basic PbA PRIUS+ conversion process.  We will also be publishing complete parts and supplier lists and designing prited circuit boards for the electronics, which we will find some way to get produced for sale afterwards.  If you live close enough to get there, please join us to observe a real conversion in process. [end of heads-up]

'''Note:''' It might be good to have various ''types'' of schematic sets.  For example a higher level version might include an automatic switch over from the stock to the added battery pack, adding a DPDT contactor on the HV mains and a complex battery tap coupler relay board.  An example of a lower level version might exclude the various interlocks, center pack relay, and simple isolation relays instead of opto-isolators.  Though neither might prove particularly practical they would help by offering various potential design layouts which might be more adaptable to platforms other than the 2004-2005 Prius.

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.
