The donor is a 1969 VW Beetle we've owned since 2001, but it's been in storage since 2003. Although there are a great number of EV kits out there, I've decided to piece this car's conversion together from different sources. The body is in great shape, and it even has the factory floorpans still.

The easiest conversions are for 2004-2008 Prius (not 2001-2003 Prius) and the Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner Hybrid. Plug-In Conversions Corp www.pluginconversions.com of Poway, near San Diego, CA converts the Toyota Prius using NiMH batteries and the EAA-PHEV open source control system, and will provide kits to qualified DIY installers.
