Dozer Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 My sister in law has an 04 Prius that needs brakes. Is there anything special about brakes on a Prius? Isnt there some sort of charging system that charges the battery via the brakes?Update:Just talked to my brother in law and found out it is an 03 Honda Civic Hybrid, not a Prius.

Jeremy airjer W Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The regenerative braking takes place in the electric motor/transmission. The hydraulic brake system is the same that you would see on any non-hybrid vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
