    How is the ION battery in the 2016 Prius cooled? The 2015 Prius that I owned had a vent beside the rear passenger set. The 2016 has none, so how is the ION battery cooled?

    There's still a vent fan, with inlet grill shifted to the edge of the rear seat base cushion. See picture and some description in the Owner's Manual.

    Thanks. After I wrote the question I looked in the owners manual and found the answer on page 83. It is where you said.
