I am converting a 2008 Australian Prius.
I am progressing through the stages of getting this conversion completed - hopefully soon.
1/ Purchased the Plugin Supply kit (front box, rear box and contactor box)
2/ Wired to the existing EV switch wiring - yes the switch is already there in Australian Prii.
3/ Wired to the Prius Battery pack ready for connection to the contaor box.
4/ Constructed a battery frame with steel angle (20 x 20 x 3mm)
The battery frame is designed to hold 76 40Ah Winston cells
5/ Installed the 240V mains inlet on the rear bumper.
6/ Designed the charger mounting bracket for the real left position - this is being bent and holes being cut at the moment.
Jobs left to do...
a/ Mount the charger (2KW TC Charger)
b/ Change the rear springs to heavy duty variety.
c/ Wire up everything.
