O.K. no one answered for three weeks. The Highlander is very similar to the Prius. Do you have a Prius and have you implemented an aftermarket upgrade to force electric mode? I'm wondering if I can do this with my Hylander. Anyone out there?

 I have a new Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I can't figure out how it decides to switch from all electric to gas and back. Even when I have a short drive, it sometimes switches to gas when I have plenty of battery left. Please answer if you KNOW why and if there is a trick to "force" it to stay in electric mode. I'd prefer if you would stay away from guessing. Thanks

Hi, the Prius has the option to go in Electric mode only BECAUSE the base model sold in Europe HAS that button already fitted.

When the Prius is sold in USA Toyota decides to REMOVE that button.

The aftermarked mod is ONLY retrofitting a button to some already exitent contacts hidden under the dash.

Other cars have different behaviour/construction and there is really nothing to do; retro-fitting a push-button is easy, making a car to accept that button (from scratch) is a complete new question.

Hope this info answer your question ;)
