There is at least one converter that I know of who will completely remove your battery pack and replace it with a much larger battery pack, but we are talking like $40,000 or something rediculous like that. The upside is that you have a much bigger back that you can regen to.

This PHEV kit is really not designed to be able to directly drive the car. I just constantly supplements the available power in the main battery pack, constantly adding some power to it.
