    Can we just dump the 2007 Toyota prius car in gasoline? can the hybrid part be canceled? Who is there?

    Not with the drive-train it has.

    Motor/Generator 2 drives the wheels.

    The engine can assist M/G2 by pushing against M/G1, which also make M/G1 produce electricity for M/G2.

    If you did an engine and transaxle swap with a Toyota Echo/Yaris, that would be what I think you want.

    Sir,
    Changing the motor is very costly, can it be a program change from the brain?

    The electrical operation of the transaxle is the only thing that allows power from the gasoline engine to reach the wheels.

    What would it cost to buy enough gasoline to dump a Prius in?
