    In the west suburbs of Chicago, I see tons of Gen II and III Prii, quite a few Gen IV Prii, an occasional Tesla or Volt (besides the Tesla a colleague in my building drives), and a very rare Bolt or Leaf. I don't even know how to recognize a Prime, so I don't know about those, but they are generally not available here.

    It is a Gen-4 without a rear window wiper.

    I have a feeling they are rare around here, since very few are available. I'll be watching now though!

    The rear window also has a divot in the middle. From the rear they are very recognizable.

    Nice! Since I have someone from the west suburbs of Chicago on here, @DavidA , do you know anyone good in this general area that works on hybrids and even replaces the hybrid battery, besides dealerships? I don't need it at this point, but just in case.

    No, not around here. In Boulder, there is someone very good at that. Kinda far from here, though. Seems like Bisco knows someone.

    That is @ericbecky of Madison WI.

    As for Chicago, there once was a 'Prius Club.' Regardless, I would start by asking @TonyPSchaefer who I understand is from that area.

    The gen4 One and Two Eco don't have a rear wiper either.

    The divot is also in the rear spoiler, making it obvious from the rear.
