    What exactly is the car? A gen4 sedan or a gen3 Prius v/alpha/+? 3 row?

    With that said, I would expect you could move the module and install one of the reduced size temporary tires and wheels.

    Mendel is assuming your car has all wheel drive (awd) and that box is providing power to the rear electric motor.

    Here are some links on the subject of retrofits
