Default Re: EV Button for TCH?

Steve (chestr) is correct. What makes the Prius EV mode operate is the computer's (ECU) programming along with a momentary switch (not available in US/Canadian units) to enable the function. Unfortunately, that programing function was not written for the '07 TCH, so just adding a switch won't give us EV capability.
