"This provision provides a tax credit for buyers of plug-in electric vehicles. It provides a base of $2500 plus an additional $417 per kwh for batteries greater than 4 kwh. For the Chevy Volt, that works out to $7500 per car, a number GM had lobbied for."

Yeah, it probably wouldn't qualify. I asked because I was thinking that the plug-in Prius dudes could buy a Prius off the lot, add the plug-in package, and resell it for the credit. But, I don't think it would make $$ sense for the plug-in dudes to buy the Prius for reselling.
Anyway, Toyota plans to have a plug-in Prius version for the next gen. But it's not clear to me how big the battery pack will be :
