Okay class, what doe CVT stand for?

Continually Variable Transmission (one gear, no more, no less)

So, if I put paddle shifters in a Prius with CVT, do you think they would even work?

No, because, just like a snowmobile, you only have two pulleys. One gets bigger and the other gets smaller, and that makes either more low end or more high end power/ speed.

Now, if they are using the same CVT in the Honda, is there a need or use for paddle shifters?

Class dismissed.
