How Much will it cost to Electrify my Prius or any other car?

Filed under Fuel Economy
HappyHandyman.net Pat Barber asks, “HOW MUCH DOES IT COST” to convert a car into an Electric-Gas-Hydrogen hybrid? Don’t wait for Toyota. 120+ mpg is here now. Pat, Dr. Steve Eaton and Ian Wickson talk how-to, safety, investment return and financing issues for Alternative Fuel Car Conversions. http REVConversions.com Ian’s Jeep CJ-7 has an Electric motor and a lead battery bank that can get 50 miles on a charge. What if you found a way to STAY PLUGGED IN? REV and Dr. Eaton have done just that with a gas electric generator on a trailer that keeps the Jeep’s battery pack topped off, fully charged. Then they went a step further and added a pair of water fuel cells that add hydrogen gas to the gas generator motor making the setup a electric-gas-water hybrid. What does that mean? Instead of getting only 50 miles of range from a charge and then having to stop for 4-8 hours and re-charge, you add 10 gallons of gas extend the range to over 1200 miles, netting over 120 mpg!
