    Which 2020 car models provide NiMH compatible HV battery modules for 2nd Gen? Toyota, Lexus or others that I can buy from a junk yard and build a HV battery for a second generation Prius?

    Obviously Lithium battery modules are incompatible. 2020 Prius base model only have NiMH as well the AWD Toyota RAV4 hybrids. Is that accurate? Which other models?

    It's region specific, in Australia all toyota hybrids other than 7 seat prius v still use NiMH which is great for patching up an old Prius :)

    Camry will work also as long as it is NiMh. You will get 34 modules and have a few spares to sell on eBay.
