luscious Garage in San Francisco converts Prius to plug-in

[bodryn]

This is great thinking - creative ways to save tons of money with a little inventiveness and outwitting the powers that be in the process.

Are these GP NiMH batteries same as in Vectrix - 30Ah?

So these become plug-in hybrids?

Luscious Garage is great. They donated a significant grant to Plug In America for us to redo our website. The newly designed site will be up soon!

Great video. They should placed the solar cutoff switch inside the garage.

Wow, you really don't like the Volt to think this is better. The Volt gets more then twice the range and at highway speed. This conversion can't get on the highway without kicking in the ICE. Cost of the this conversion is $13K + cost of Prius so it is more if you use a new Prius.

I love these in particular. I really hope that I can get a picc kit prius soon. I had one lined up, but it might be sold by the time I can get my hands on it.
