The Prius is a good car, but it's not as good. It cost more initially and the price came down, and I expect the Volt will too.
You can get it converted for $11k which puts it just barely below a Volt, but without a warranty and with a setup that wasn't designed into the car. Even then the performance isn't up to the spec the Volt shows.It can be done for only $3K now. Check this out....http://enginer.us/
I'm going to get it done myself.
One thing, though.
Be very careful with your money.
Make sure those guys / that site are really for real.
(My first impression - Site did not inspire confidence, in me)
FWIW, for a capacity increment of 2 kWh, $1,000.
$500 / kWh, for rated capacity.
Of course, only 50% or so is actually useable.
So, really $1,000 / kWh.
A123's L5 ($11K "5" kWh range extender only utilizes 60% (3 kWh))):
What the hell is an Exciton, anyhow?
