    Yes, I know, the battery is under the hood so a boost point in the fuse box would be superfluous. But I had to check, and it's gone.

    However, in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV there IS a boost point in the underhood fuse box with a red flip up cover. The salesman didn't know it was there, telling me "this cover in the hatch area gives access to the battery negative terminal for boosting". HUH!!? Pretty much everything he told me about that vehicle was wrong! And he figured he was an expert! Sales!

    99% of salesmen - I end up educating them on their product (or walking away in disgust). BUT I struck gold with this PRIUS though - the salesman used to be a mechanic who worked on PRIUS - and he knew the product well.
