Paul, I'm still stuck on the fancy encoder. Does it tell you absolute shaft position @ 0 RPM or how does it get things moving?

Mike, re: boost converters, I can't make %100 sense out of it from a purely efficiency standpoint. Don't know why Prius is using it exactly, but they are gas powered and might be able to trade some electrical efficiency for weight/cost.
