    Looking for someone that has some experience with disassembly of the dashboard for the ev mode button and high voltage battery access for another mod. I live in Montreal but can travel a few hours away if needed.

    Have a good day!

    Is accessing the HV battery for a system you put together yourself, or is it an aftemarket system build by a company?

    Venice Hybrid Tech Grid Charger for Toyota Prius Gen II

    My battery seems ok for now but i often move my car short distances and would like to have the choice of using EV only and charging it from time to time.

    I would be very cautious of a charger which does not have a cooling fan.
    Even at 350ma there is significant heat when the modules become full.
    I would stick with a know and trusted brand like Hybrid Automotive. They definitely ship internationally and have great instructions. They may even be able to help you with an installer l.
