Hi again, it's a shame your family members have stopped your idea, but too expensive unless you did all the work yourself.

I din't realize how complicated the Outlander PHEV were:

Lots of components there that could be re-purposed, the problem is again the immobilizer features and control commands. Unless someone has spent hundreds of hours hacking it, then the components are dead bricks.

I don't consider the the Toyota Hybrid components being useful, as the motor there is part of a planetary gear, that seems to only add to the RPM of the petrol motor. The electric motor on its own in a Camry or Prius is only doing up to 40km/h speed if the petrol motor is doing 0 rpm. Don't see how the Camry or Prius motor can do anything else by itself as it is sanwiched into the large transmission.
Cheers,
