Well, krousdb was correct (user on priuschat). The pack was working. I just had to burn some juice off it first to see the amps being pumped back in. And, with that, I just got back from my second phev drive (first was yesterday unknowingly haha)!

From my incredibly minimal experience at this point, it basically kind of drives like you have 7 green bars, although not even as drastic as that. It uses the pack a bit more on take off, but cruising at speed you can't even tell its doing anything unless you really watch your gauges.

Now, just to figure out a way to disconnect the pack with to prevent over charging and discharging...
