Hi folks. I'm joining priuschat in the hunt for more information - you have a ton here! I don't drive a Prius, but I do work in the area of hybrid/alternative technology so I'm really interested in all its mechanical & electrical guts!
:welcome: Knowledge in all parts of the hybrid system is good. You might want to check out some of what member hobbit has been up to. Here's his personal page, scroll down a bit to get to the Prius stuff. He has all kinds of hacks and technical analysis. Hobbit's techie-rants I believe most of this is for the 2004-2009 Gen II model of the Prius, so if you're looking for Gen III stuff, this may not apply.
I'm looking at that site now, and holy cow is that a lot of pages! Thanks a ton for pointing me there!
