A stock Prius has an empty tray which you take out to get the spare out, and forward of that is the Panasonic battery about the size of a small suitcase.

Ive been thinking one could fill that tray up with lithium iron battery and somehow connect to Panasonics battery the system should be more robust (hence higher mpg) without doing much else

this because the battery is only allowed to float at something like 70 - 80% charge and recharging from the engine is quite quick

well. its a theory anyways ...
