Hello how are you ? I just bought a prius 2, I'm a beginner, and my vehicule works well, but I would like to know if we can make battery improvements for cheap? change the traction battery for example to be able to drive longer in electric. a simple cheap inexpensive mod ..
Welcome to PriusChat!! Running on just electric isn't recommended. How much longer were you looking to drive? Any mods out there, both prior and current, wouldn't be simple or cheap. FYI : you're moderated until you've posted 5 times.
congrats and welcome! unfortunately, any battery mods are extremely complicated and expensive due to software issues. however, there is an aftermarket lithium battery for around $2,000. us (not sure for france) that might accomplish what you are desiring
searching for the holy grail, not cheap. here is terry's LTO project: '06 Prius battery upgrade to LTO 55Ah cells | PriusChat and my LPF project: HV Battery Headway 38120HP LiFePo4 70S pack | PriusChat Possibility of A123's as well if you can find them cheap. Good luck
No. You can spend $2000 US and get 1.5 miles instead of 3/4 miles. Plus its still a hybrid which means all electric power comes from gasoline or regen enabled by gasoline. You would be better off buying a worn out Nissan Leaf.
