That's the Hybrids Plus conversion. That product actually seems to be a nicer product than the Hymotion product as it completely integrates with the car, allows regenerative braking to the Lithium pack, doesn't require removal of the spare tire, and doesn't change the display functions in any way. Unfortunately it is way more expensive.

I just wanted to bump this thread up one more time before I post the results you all are whining about.

My commute details will be posted with the next update which should be in the next 24 hours.

I have completed the Highway test and all EV mode test and the results were surprising. Stay tuned to find out the results.

The most anticipated information on PriusChat, can't wait to read the results. I'm sure the results will convince some and reject others. I will be back to see the early results...

I updated my first post. Please let me know if anything is missing, needs corrected, or if you have any questions. This is not the final write up as I still have to finish my tank which will take a while.

I wonder if Sammy Hagar has a Hymotion Prius yet. The City all EV mode test had interesting results. So you had to stop a few times to keep the stock SOC for dropping too low? It sounds like the Hymotion pack was not capable of supplying enough power for sustained EV mode.
