Such rear floorpan lowering mods to provide access to wheelchairs or disability scooters are not so unusual in Europe, but I have never found any info about that into a Prius V. Anyway, sometimes it can even require the fuel tank to be relocated or replaced. IIRC the Prius V's traction battery is located in the same spot as in the Prius C, so at least it may not impose another issue to such project.
