A123Systems announce six initial certified partnerships that are authorized to install and convert the hybrid Toyota Prius to an plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The conversion is expected to increase the gas mileage of the Prius to over 100 MPG for the first 30 - 40 mile commute.

The L5 module, designed for the the 2004 - 2008 Toyota Prius, provides approximately 5 kWh of power and takes only 4.5 hours to recharge. The A123Systems L5 module runs $9995 which includes installation and a 3 year warranty.

A123Systems is currently developing the next generation battery systems for both hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles. The L5 conversion module uses their Nanophosphate technology which provides a safe and high density charge for sustained operation.

Prius owners can have their car converted to an PHEV by visiting a Certified Hymotion Installation Partner in their area.
