The overhead power lines put out 600 volts at around 400 amps ... The NiMh battery that does the heavy lifting in a normal Prius puts out 273 volts at 6.5 amps. Jon uses up the excess power on a whole lot of resistors

And I'm screaming: that what buck converters are for!
Pretty cool you can actually drive around in this, I bet in Germany they'd shut you down on the first day out.
