2001-2003 Prius as electric Car

DIY Electric Car

One can turn 2001-2003 Prius as Electric Car very easily and cheaply.All one has do is to remove the EFI fuse once ign. or less unit the HV battery down to far.So one well need to add Power to the HV Battery. is no and you get "READY" indication. But now it well only go about 1.7 One needed about min of 160 volt.

Consortium successfully runs silicon carbide multiport DC-DC converter in EV

Green Car Congress

It has four ports: two connect to the traction motor and high voltage battery; a third connects to a secondary energy source, which in this test car is a super capacitor bank; and the fourth powers the vehicle’s 12V systems. Energy can also be transferred directly between the battery and super capacitor ports.

False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid.
