I'm not into hybrids, and all-electric is also not my cup of tea, but I have also considered some Prius-based projects. I've already considered to drop a 2-stroke engine (a modern one, with direct injection, such as those used as powerhead for outboards) backed by a 4-speed manual transmission into a Prius bodyshell.
