Saw the battery packs for $10,000 and they are the LITHIUM-ION rechargable types. Trying to find a WET LEAD ACID conversion kit version for a PRIUS to extend its range; at a lower DO-IT-YOURSELF overall price of maybe $3500 total. Someone must have done this design already, so any suggested links?
Thanks for the point about EV switch, as I did not realize that is a 38 MPH only maximum option.
