Company will convert your Prius into a plug-in

This is potentially big news. This is right off their website.

Tomorrow’s Technology for Today’s Vehicle

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle

If someone asks you today if there is a car that can cut North America's oil imports to a minimum and reduce pollution significantly at the same time, what would be your answer?

Hymotion's Plug-in Hybrid system (PHEV) can provide Hybrid vehicles with 100+mpg fuel efficiency and fight climate change simultaneously. The advantages of Hymotion’s PHEV includes better fuel economy, fewer visits to gas station, lower fuel costs, less pollution and longer range in all-electric mode --- the solution for spiking gas prices, CO2 emissions and dependence on imported oil.

What is in the system?
No factory parts or components will be replaced or taken out of the vehicle, the plug-and-play PHEV system engineered by Hymotion can boost the electric capacity of a vehicle by 7 times, making the extra range for all electric “stealth” mode. And since the whole system, which includes the smart charger, power electronic and battery, is smaller and lighter than factory NiMh battery box. This is made possible by the special Lithium Ion Polymer battery technology that Hymotion employs in their plug-and-play PHEV system, one does not require a trunk full of batteries to achieve such efficiency and performance.

Hymotion PHEV system is not only small and lightweight, but also powerful and long-lasting. The system charges from the engine, braking system and the power grid while the vehicle is parked and plugged in. One would plug in to a 120V outlet in the garage overnight and use the surplus electricity generated by power plants at night. The overnight charge will only cost an average of 75 cents for 50 extra miles.

Hymotion currently have systems available for Toyota Prius, Ford Escape Hybrid and Mercury Mariner Hybrid. More systems are under development for Lexus RX400h, Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid.
