[ausev] Prius conversion

[Joe Ipsen]

I saw a little of the Prius conversion (100 mpg for first 20 miles) being
done at the Maker's Faire here in Austin and was interested in talking with
someone who could do this conversion on a new Prius we are considering
purchasing.

I have left VM with ***REVOLT Custom Electric
Vehicles<http://www.revoltcustomelectric.com/>
*and ***Electric Cars of Austin<http://www.electriccarsofaustin.com/main.cfml>,
but not heard back from them.*

My work provides a decent refund off of the purchase of a Prius, but the
amount goes down significantly in 2008 (they don't consider the Prius fuel
efficient enough any more) so we need to make a decision on this before the
end of the year.

My primary concern is that I would need to find a stable, reliable mechanic
to perform this conversion and to provide support down the line should we
run into any problems.

Who would you recommend and does anyone know the cost surrounding this
conversion?
