Hybrids Plus is a company devoted to converting hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), including vehicle-to-grid capable PHEVs. Currently, they convert Toyota Prius HEVs and Ford Escape HEVs. The company was founded July, 2006 in Boulder, Colorado to convert a Toyota Prius for the State of Colorado. They developed the "Inverger," a bidirectional charger and inverter for vehicle-to-grid applications.

In 2007 Hybrids Plus won a contract with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, (NYSERDA), to convert a Ford Escape, and a contract with Xcel Energy to convert 6 Escapes to V2G capable PHEVs.

They convert HEVs to PHEVs by replacing the stock battery with a PHEV battery in the original location (as opposed to augmenting the stock battery with an additional battery placed elsewhere[clarification needed]), and adding a charger and a plug.
