Driver Control of Stealth Mode
Does anyone know if this EV only modification can be applied to theTCH? Better yet, has anybody made this modification?

I have e-mailed Coastaletech but haven't heard back yet.

The Prius has that mod available because it was designed in (and is apparently standard outside NA) and only a switch needs to be added. Such is not the case for the TCH.
FWIW Toyota warns that the fuel economy drops if you use the EV switch. It's only useful for moving the car short distances (such as within a parking garage) without having the ICE start.

Yes, it's only available on the Prius (and on the LS600h L and 2008 HiHy for that matter in NA).
FE depends on how you use the EV button. Use it incorrectly and FE will plummet. Use it wisely and FE will increase oh so slightly (gotta love how the world works... easy to fail, hard to succeed hehe)
