    Saw this driving home. It was a 2010 or earlier Prius and that definitely looks to be a re-charger adapter.

    The photo was taken at a stop light so quality is poor. That is a hinge at the top.

    Thanks,

    Yup. Lots of options on conversions.

    There is a 2010 official PHV in California only but that's it.

    I blurred the tag, but it was in Tennessee and from a Tennessee dealer.

    Thanks for the reply and confirming what I thought.

    Yep! They're everywhere! Just the other day, I saw a Department of Energy PHEV Prius. I'm 100% sure that it was a Hymotion kit.

    Funny thing... There's only a handful of plug-in hybrids in Southern California(mainly Los Angeles and surrounding areas). It was a pleasant surprise to see it riding along I-10!

    Yup. I just got an Enginer kit installed, and the plug looks EXACTLY like that.
