I just wanted to follow up my post last Friday about the plug-in Prius. It turns out there are some more options. Earth2Tech had a post today with more information on how to give your Prius a plug.
According to the article, the company Hymotion has a solution that costs around $10,000 and Energy CS has a solution that costs around $15,000. These are still expensive, but better than the $35,000 than the other option (though that one does give you better gas mileage.
I don’t have a hybrid and even if I did, I don’t have the money to pay for one of these conversions. However, knowing that these types of technologies are out there does give me some comfort that people are working on solutions that will hopefully help us get our balls back from the big oil companies. After all, I’d rather spend my money on gadgets rather than gasoline.

How about doing the conversion yourself for about $4000.00? Priusplus.org will show you how, and there are lots of us willing to help you out.
