Asking for a friend I PMed @2k1Toaster about this already but if anyone here has thoughts. Would appreciate hearing them.
Not known from first report. Nor trouble codes from dlrship visit, which seem important to know. Second email from victim suggests he will buy a new traction battery. For about the price of pangolin scales. Seems to imply operator values the vehicle. Also asked if it could run gasoline only, which seems to imply a glovebox containing a never-opened Lexus ES 300h owner's manual.
Is the over in the Far East? If not, maybe check for a wreck of either the ES300h or hycam for a newer year. Another option.
