Smile Salut from Romania.

Hi, everybody! I'm from Romania, Dracula's country.
I'm reading PC from december 2007, since I got my 2004 Prius. I found your comunity very well informed about Prius stuff and in the same time all info I found here was and still is verry helpfull.
Thanks to all I learned from here, I've started to buy some accessories for my Prius. And the first ones was the EBH and the mud splashguards. Now I have to wait another month till they reach to me, from US.
Also I wanted a shark finn antenna, but it seems that my connection in US was unable to order it.
Let me ask you something. Is there a way to make EBH to work with 220 volts? Our powelines here supply this voltage and we have to figure out something to make it work.

Welcome to Priuschat. Sounds like you need a 220 volt to 110 volt transformer to drop the voltage to match that of the EBH.

Someone posted a PDF describing installation of an EU-model
block heater that runs on 220V, so it's pretty likely that they
exist for that market. No idea where you'd look, though.
Dealers will probably deny all knowledge...

Thx.
About transformer, I figured that. But I just wished that it was another way, something constructive. Like an EBH made to work with 220V. Maybe, with the increasing popularity of Prius worldwide, someone will produce one.

All the best!

This is the post I put up about 220V EBH.

"I have a last got my hands on a 230v EBH kit, and it is a Toyota Europe Accessory. I found it on the euro web site , www.toyota-tech.eu

Toyota Euro 230v EBH Install Manual.pdf

Part number PZ434-G0790-3Z.

I ordered it Friday and it arrived from Belgium Tuesday.
It is made in Sweden see:-

Cool Re: Salut from Romania.

Thank you, Jon.
That's another way to install an EBH on Prius. Thing is that I don't like very much making a hole in the front of the car.
I'll see if I can change the order I made in US for EBH...

Salut, DarkPRIUS!
What do people there think of your car? Is it considered big or small? What's the price of gas?

Salutări! Bine ati venit la Prius chat! Sper să vă savuraţi Prius. Care sunt preţurile de gaze ca īn Romānia?

Imi place Traducere Google! I love google translate!

(Can you tell me if the translator actually works well?)

Dave
