How Hybrid Cars Work - Part 1: Inverter and Battery Electronics

Post by Gregski »

I love this guy, here he is explaining how the components such as the Toyota Prius Gen2 Inverter and other hybrid stuff work using a Second Gen 2004-09 Toyota Prius, which is what our very own Dipl. Ing. Johannes Hübner shoved into his friends Audi A2 Conversion

Added this to the Gen2 wiki, will have to go through this guy's other vids too. Dr. Kelly of WeberAuto he is not, but it's a differently useful kind of teardown.
