Those hp numbers are peak ratings right?

almost all generators HP is based in peak ratings... so I'd say yes.

Yes please there must be more Prius wrecks out there ready to tamper with.

On another note does anybody know if thermal runaway is common on the battery packs? The one I can buy suffered this with the original Nimh.

any Ni-MH vented or not can have thermal runaway from poor battery cooling, quick charging, or quick discharging.

To hedge this you can either install a temp sensor, or simply cool the battery cases.
