| + | [[Image:Qconline 299047 car26a.jpg|thumb|right||[[PriusBlue]]]] |
| − | There we will be converting a stock [[Toyota Prius]] [[Hybrid]] into a [[Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle]] (PHEV).
| |
| − | Make is a celebration of all things do-it-yourself, and we're absolutely ecstatic to participate in this event!
| |
| − | As is the case with the first [[PriusPlus]] and due to the DIY nature of the project we intend to always provide a drive-home mode for extreme debugging, until our conversions are essentially as reliable as the original car.
| |
| − | After the faire we anticipate a period of fine tuning not only of ''the car''<!-- Blue --> but also of our [[Prius PHEV]] documentation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Details:
| |
| − | * When: Saturday, April 22, 2006 (10am - 6pm), Sunday, April 23, 2006 (10am - 5pm)
| |
| − | * Where: The San Mateo Fairgrounds, 2495 South Delaware Street, San Mateo, CA
| |
| − | * Admission: $12/Adult; $5/Teens; $25/Family; Under 12 free

| − | ==Event Preperation==
| |
| − | We have a big job ahead in preparing for the two day conversion. We realize that people are rightly getting enthusiastic about the event, however we need to make sure that people have realistic expectations.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Expectations===
| |
| − | The MakerFaire car and our initial documentation and recommended components will initially specify lead-acid batteries -- low cost, but heavy and large. We hope to be able to locate a supplier of better Ni-MH or Li-Ion batteries, but can't say when we'll succeed. So for now, anyone attempting to complete this type of conversion with lead-acid will be left with a vehicle with the following characteristics:
| |
| − | * 10 mile low-speed electric-only range, 20-mile [[Mixed-mode]] half-electric/half-gasoline range, your mileage may vary.
| |
| − | * Battery warming may be helpfull or required in areas with cold climates. In ambient temperatures of 50 deg F or lower and low states of charge (SOC), and in lower temperatures at any SOC, potential errors (due to high battery internal resistance) may cause the car to stop running. It is highly recommended that the OEM battery be used in such conditions.
| |
| − | * Approximately 200-cycle full discharge life (in a year, you may need to replace batteries at a cost of up to $1,000). Your performance will vary based on battery quality, depth of discharge, and many other factors.
| |
| − | * Net weight increase of 300 pounds (assuming you keep existing battery in place, which we highly recommend)
| |
| − | * Because of the additional weight, slightly reduced rear-window visibility, some additional load on rear shock absorbers (until we develop a source for heavy-duty springs), possibly slightly poorer road handling (equivalent to keeping a 300 lb load in the cargo area), and reduced remaining load capacity.
| |
| − | * Due to the additional weight and the simultaneously marginal performance of the lead-acid battery, city-driving mileage may decrease by 10% when electricity is not used to offset some of the gasoline consumption.
| |

| − | ==EVent Schedule==
| |
| − | Tentetive plans for the road trip and conversion.

| + | I attend most of the events that the [[SEVA:|Seattle Electric Vehicle Association]] participates in and am more than happy to Educate, Demonstrate, and Proliferate Electric and Plug-in Hybrid vehicles. I am a System Administrator at [http://www.digipen.edu DigiPen Institute of Technology], a video game programming, computer animation, and computer engineering school. I became interested in EV's after attending [http://alan.batie.org/photos/020803_oeva an early 2003 show in Portland Oregon] and quickly realized that my 2000 Insight was not nearly as electric as it could have been. Since then I've been immersed in the world of electric transportation and sustainable energy. My latest undertaking has been the organization of the [http://www.eaaev.org Electric Auto Association]s Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle site, which you are currently visiting! - ThanX |
