Converting Toyota Prius to plug in HEV
Centralised battery monitoring for a plug-in Prius conversion: up to 79 cells, temperature inputs, two CAN buses, charge management and WiFi — and 40 to 60 km on electric alone.
In 2010 I designed a centralized battery monitoring system for converting a standard Prius to plug in hybrid. It can monitor up to 79 cells and have temperature sensor inputs, two CAN buses, charge management and WiFi. It had a range of 40 to 60 km in EV mode.
