What changes do we make to convert a gasoline-only hybrid to a Plug-In Hybrid? The generator portion of the system can then be downsized, modular, removable, and easily able to utilize any one of a number of technologies such as ICE, Micro Turbine, Stirling, to perhaps even FuelCell and Mr. Fusion. Yet they are still far from adoption.

Virtually any car, truck or bus can be made or redesigned as a long-range PHEV. There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today. In fact, the optimized PHEV is much more efficient as a long range liquid fuel vehicle, because the engine is downsized. It is only a matter of economics motivated by incentives or taxes.
