In my real-world experiments with expanding a low-budget DIY EV into a "range-extended" Plug-in Hybrid....
It's not worth it to convert a DIY EV to a plug-in hybrid. There's a lot of little things that might work out well if planned from the start, but work very POORLY if shoe-horned in later. Some of those things were already pointed out in a few of the above posts.
I think a DIY Plug-in Hybrid would be a GREAT project, but it needs to be planned as such from the start to really work well.
