    Anyone upgraded their hybrid battery? I'm planning to upgrade it with the Gen V batteries.

    What is a Gen V battery?

    There are 2012-16 Prius V
    2025+ Hybrid gen 5
    2025+ Prime ( Gen ???)

    There are also sodium batteries going into 1st gen cars, how many I have no idea.

    buying loose wrecker batteries for plug in cars is getting more and more difficult as the demand is high and Gen V Prius are quite rare/low volume sales wise, I was going to dump a $2500 60kwhr ex EV battery into my 1981 Comutacar but sadly I waited post pandemic and they are now all in solar walls and unobtainium
