Hymotion

A123 Hymotion is a company founded in 2005 in Toronto, Canada that introduced plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) upgrade kits in February 2006. In February 2007, Hymotion was acquired by A123Systems, the manufacturer of the batteries that Hymotion uses for upgrades [ A123 Systems Hymotion page: "About us" viewed on 16-Jul-2008 [http://www.a123systems.com/hymotion/aboutus] ] .

Designed for the Toyota Prius and the Ford Escape and Mariner Hybrids, these kits can be purchased by individuals for the Prius and professionally installed by 6 different certified companies nationwide. Hymotion also has a program for fleet buyers.

The L5 Plug in conversion module is part of their 5 kWh kit that includes batteries, power electronics, crash sensors, charger, Battery Management System (BMS) and manual-electric interlock. The system does not require removal of the OEM battery pack in the stock vehicle and can be installed in less than 4 hours. The batteries use Lithium iron phosphate technology, chosen for its greater safety and heat characteristics over other types of lithium-ion batteries.

Recently, the South Coast Air Quality Management District awarded Hymotion to convert 10 Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles to PHEVs.
