Ok..so today I received 200lbs of crated parts. I now have the current version of the GenII 4KWh kit and am about to put it into a GenIII (2010) Prius.

To answer one question...the current price of the latest version of the 4KWh kit is $3,495.00

I'll be posting as many pictures as I can of the conversion.

The Gen II looks like this...

The Gen III looks like this ...

So there will have to be some modifications made just from a mechanical point of view. Electrical considerations will be addressed after that !

With this kit, how many miles and at what max speed should you be able to get before you exhaust the battery charge?

I'm looking to get a supplement of 3000WHr effective energy out per charge. I'm looking at it as a PHEV not an EV (I have a Mitsubishi for that)

Just as a for-instance.....if I'm getting 50MPG on gasoline then I'm using ~ 665 WHr/mi from gasoline. If I get a supplement of 20mi from 3000WHr of battery use, then that's a rate of only 150 WHr/mi (just shows how much more efficient electrons are) so (665*50/150) => ~222MPG equivalent in my 50MPG car.... it would be nice if I could run this all off in the first 20mi as an EV....but that isn't realistic for me yet....

Well, the crates of parts did arrive...

Looking like....

However, there was no way the GenII case was going to fit into the GenIII w/o significant modification.......read milling, cutting, welding, etc.....

Jack has a GenIII version case in the works, though....stay tuned on that one.

Yesterday and today were spent fussing w/ the installation of the cable to connect to the HV NiNH pack in the Prius. I made up the cable w/ a 240VAC locking connector pair so that I could quick-disconnect the new pack w/o having to open up the whole rig each time I wanted to experiment.

You can just ignore the green ground lead in these pictures. It was removed later since the Prius uses an AC type of fault detector and the capacitance added by that ground wire only lowers the fault threshold.

Here is where the leads connect into the HV relay block.....the covers are removed and notice that the safety interlock is removed. Again, ignore the green wire.

Here it is again w/ the covers and cooling baffles back on (safety plug is still out)

Yesterday I drove around for a while and monitored the NiMH pack voltage. (using my quick-connect cable) It behaves like a GenII as far as voltage is concerned.

atfsi,

Any update on this mod. I am wondering what kind of MPG results you are getting. I have been waiting for the 2010 Prius version to come out.

Thanks,

Chan
