I have a 2001 Prius is there any PHEV conversion kits w/EV mode available for it ? Failing the availability of that I might want to convert the car to to all electric but I've never found anything even written on the subject which is strange because it seems like it would be the optimum electric car w/motor-drivetrain base to start from. There's allot of research into traction motors being built into the wheels of electric cars which if at some time in the future becomes available as a kit it might make for the simplest conversion.
