70 MPH in a Prius in EV MODE!

I have been pestering a couple of guys in Chicago lately about plug in conversions.

Unfortunately, most Prius converted to PHEV suffer from only being able to go low speeds on electric only.

These guys were able to get one up to almost 70 Miles per Hour using only the electric motor!

Peep the video!
