I made these clips yesterday.. Once I'm 100% finished with the trunk area, I'm going to make a nicer video showing more about it.. but I just thought I'd give everyone a peek at what I've been working on.
Hi Adric22, Did you keep the car Electric only with light foot peddle or did you do some kind of an EV hack in addition to the Enginer kit? Thanks, Dan
In this case, just light foot pedal. But - You'd be surprised when the traction battery gets topped off and the ICE is warmed up, the Prius is very reluctant to start the engine under 30 mph. I really only encounter difficulty keeping it in electric mode when climbing a steep hill or at speeds 40 mph and above. I have also experimented with disabling the fuel pump by removing the relay. My only gripe about that is the fact that the car attempts to start the engine when you turn the key on. Oh, and you have to reset your check-engine light with a scan-tool if you don't want it on all the time.
