Report on the Field Performance of A123Systems’ Hymotion™ Plug-In Conversion Module for the Toyota Prius
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A123Systems’ Hymotion™ L5 Plug-in Conversion Module (PCM) is a supplemental battery system that converts the Toyota Prius hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) into a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The Hymotion module is a lithium ion battery pack with ∼5.0 kWh of capacity. It recharges by plugging into a standard 110/120V outlet. The system was designed to more than double the Prius’ fuel efficiency for 30 to 50 km of charge depleting range. The Hymotion L5 PCM is the first commercially available aftermarket product complying with NHTSA impact standards.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Since 2006, over 50 initial production Hymotion Plug-in Conversion Modules have been installed in private fleet vehicles across the United States and Canada and monitored for performance. With the help of the Idaho National Laboratory, which conducts the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity (AVTA), A123Systems collected and analyzed real-time vehicle data from each fleet vehicle. This paper presents the results of this field evaluation.</div>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
