- Prius PHEV conversion options and discussion.
- Ron's Original PriusPlus was the first DIY project.
- EDrive conversions, in California US & UK.
- Hymotion kits available in Canada & US.
- GoingGreen conversion offered in the UK.
- Hybrids-Plus based in Colorado has begun work on Li based conversions.

Notes:
- Assuming <35 mph, 0.26 KWh/mile ref, 1.5 miles with stock pack
- During which the mileage is on the order of 100 mpg. Shows range as stated by organization. If not stated, then calculated assuming...
- Safety in case of major accident
- From discharged to the point the pack will no longerbe used in PHEV, to fully charged
- Because the DOD of the stock pack is limited by the Prius, only about 0.3 KWh of its energy is available (US). It is assumed that additional batteries are limited to a DOD range of:
- SLA: 0% down to 50%,
- Litium 0% down to 90%
- HiMotion states 50 km (30 miles) pure EV range. Yet 4.3 KWh calculates out to 15 miles.
- No = original tire well is covered or occupied by new battery pack
