Are any details of how you did the Gen2 Prius to PHEV conversion available that would be helpful for someone else to recreate what you did? Did you have full PHEV (BEV mode, ICE doesn't consume fuel), or just the version that makes the car think the pack is basically always full and thus mostly keeps the ICE off, but isn't strict about it?
Any open source design info? Stuff like cell choice, pack construction and layout, info on creating a Toyota compatible battery monitor, etc?
