Any hints & tips on how to perform an Insight testdrive, to check how good the IMA batteryback is performing, discharging & recharging. ?

Car had the batterypack & both modules replaced under warranty in 2008, but has only done
10.000 Km. since then, i am curious if this lack of driving has somehow hurt the
performance of the new pack.

If the State of Charge is 2/3 of the bars or greater, that's a good sign.

Probably the best way to force a recal is aggressive driving below 2000 rpms....the Insight does not charge very well under 2000 rpms. Of course, you won't see how good it's fuel economy is
