They used a 2007 Ford Focus and 2004 Prius (NHW20), which were tested on a dynamometer at the Argonne National Laboratory. It also includes a vehicle model. It is a good report although I still feel their model is not complete.

Ben's trying to track down his contact info. That's one bit of info I'd like clarified.
I have a design for that with my NHW11 (2003) Prius now that all warranties have expired. But we can chat about that after I build and test it. <grins>
