that would be cool if it worked, push your prius around with some regen using another car and see if it lights (after clearing any/all codes and topping of the 12v battery).
Though this is discouraging:
"The worst consequence of a tapped-out Prius would be if the depleted nickel-metal-hydride propulsion battery sinks too low in its charge that the engine and motor/generator cannot charge it. In this case, the battery would have to be charged by a Frankenstein machine that exists only at Toyota dealers. Toyota says that no dealers have ever reported needing to use the machine since the Prius's 2001 introduction in the U.S. Still, you don't want to be the first. "
