Actually, the Prius uses both DC and AC, so it depends which circuit is of concern as to which is appropriate. The battery is definitely a CD device. Cabling runs from the battery to the inverter which drives the electric motor. During charging, the driven alternator produces AC, but this has to be rectified before being applied to charge the battery. Similarly for regenerative braking.
In my experience, affordable equipment designed to measure current and EMF on DC circuits will also work on AC circuits. The reverse is not as common.
