There are a number of 3rd parties that will convert
your Toyota
Prius into a plug-in Prius. Many of these
companies use lithium-ion batteries for their
conversions. Others, such as Plug-in Conversions, use
NiMH batteries.
For $10,000 you can add 8 miles of electric power. For
16 miles $15,000, and for 24 miles its $20,000
according to AutoWeek.
However, unlike the Chevy
Volt, these NiMH plug-in hybrids can only use
electric-only power at speeds less than 34 mph. Still,
that can mean up to 100 mpg for the first 50 miles.
