He accomplishes the feat by adding voltage to the sensor, but only when the brake pedal is pressed (activating a relay in the circuit).

The result is a loss of the ability to do extremely light braking, but he's happy with the heightened amount of regen in his braking mix.

I wonder if a prius MIMA could be coaxed into using EV-95m nickle metal batteries?

Might make for a better hybred/electric.

Reason I ask is there is a set for sale.

I thought of buying them but how to charge safely?
