Plug in Supply Questions

Kiet, I wanna setup a test drive with your system sometime in late December. I'm pretty fed up with the Enginer system. My system has been down for almost 3 months now due to faulty converter. They're sending me a new converter that supposedly cooler than the older one. If this converter fails gain, I'm jumping ship.

I'm WAY happy to report that Kiet confirms they can now install their PHEV system in Toyotas(Lexus)' SUV hybrids. WHOO HOO! I'm anxiously looking forward to the "go for it" nod - from my better half. It's only logical - as the RX-400h is her main ride.

I was reading through the plug-in website. It still states that you must stop to leave EV mode. I was under the impression that when using the ECM you would not need to stop to leave EV mode. Do you still need to stop to leave EV mode when you are using the new ECM? I am a bit confused.

My understanding is that the older system had that limitation.
The new ones do not.

It's a good news that the DIY packages of PIS products is available online.

A bit vague. Which cells are they selling? Maybe Headway. What exactly is included. Will be interested to see a price for ECM module. Do they have a forum to find the answer to all these questions? It is not a simple DIY installation like a Enginer kit. It is probably a lot more complicated.

Sounds good. I am really interested to see the instructions, and it sounds as though the system is operating better now (the warnings about entering/exiting EV mode at high speed are gone, it acts more like the Toyota PHV). As the Ampera($58,000) and Volt($53,000) get released here in the UK later in the year, and with the Leaf still at $49,000, $8,500 to upgrade the gen3 prius is a bargain!!

Are there PIS customers to share their candid experience for installing, driving and maintaining their PIS systems?

From my calculations it takes about 30 hp to move a 3000 lbs. weight up a 6% grade at 60 mph. Add resistance etc to this, hp may have to be double. I believe the hp for the MG motors is 67. Thus, from the math, Prius should be able to do hills at reasonable speed without ICE. Wonder why they did not make an all electric Prius?

Regardless, what type of springs do you ( experts

suggest to prepare Prius for 10 kw battery pack? Thanks
