A demonstration of the in-vehicle Energy Monitor of a 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid as well as a discussion of hybrid system operation. This demonstrates the different energy paths and directions that take place under various driving conditions with the Toyota P310 Hybrid Transaxle with two electric motors (MG1 and MG2). The 2008 Highlander Hybrid is an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle that has a rear electric motor (Q211) to drive the rear wheels whenever the front wheels are about to slip.
This energy monitoring system is similar to the Toyota Prius and Camry hybrids as well as GM 2-Mode hybrids and some Ford Hybrids.
