Prius traction battery (the big battery that powers the electric drive motors) wants to be kept cool. Cooling is via air drawn from passenger compartment, by right rear passenger seat. Keeping the passenger compartment temp down is good for the battery's efficiency, not just for the occupants' comfort.
