There's the Enginer plug-in kit for the Prius. I've read mixed reviews about them and I don't know if they sell them anymore. I think most of the issues were battery and BMS related, so if you just used their converter with a solid battery, you should be ok. I would check ebay and PriusChat's for sale section for a used setup.
