We Promote PHEV Conversion Programs: First CalCars in 2004, then a number of aftermarket companies, have converted over 200 cars — at first most were for fleets, but more and more are going to individual owners. Drivers of converted cars have received high levels of cooperation from dealer service departments so far.
