Has anyone ever considered adding battery packs to their CT?
It costs a lot of money $4-6k, but it is still not too bad considering the upgrade cost to a plug-in hybrid.

On the plug-in supply website it says it's compatible with the ct200h and they also report some Prius owners getting around 90mpg. I also though it was interesting that it is not a built-in solution as you can easily remove the battery packs.

I had considered it. I was unimpressed when I realized how little the battery actually gets used. I saw one of the videos for the lithium packs that allowed you to use electric only while cruising down the freeway. Where normally the ICE is running anytime above 40mph or so.

sorry to bring this back from 2016.. but just got the CT and found this thread. so how would you go about in recharging the pack? with an extension cord? any other company offers something like this? thanks..

This is what is says on the website:

"The bumper plug can be installed on either the front (above) or rear of the vehicle."

thanks Steve. but i guess in doing this.. you lose the spare wheel space. i guess not many ppl if any on this forum went this route?
