Just created a new one-pager... Like the other educational materials, a lot of effort was spent on keeping the content & presentation as simple as possible. The intent is to teach about the DRIVING MODES available, as well as dispel the new misconceptions about them that greenwashers are attempting to spread. Go to this webpage to download the latest revision of the document. And of course, feel free to contribute comments & suggestions. .
Thanks. But I think it's time to use EV (Stealth) vs. EV Drive Mode. I've been pushing for this (partly because this is Toyota's terminology) but also partly because of all the confusion about "but the fusion does up to 75mph in EV and the Prius does 25mph." That's because they're confusing two different modes. EV Drive Mode (the EV button) goes up to 25mph. EV mode (or stealth mode) goes up to 45mph (in the 2010).
Consider the audience. The difference descriptions between STEALTH and EV have already proven effective on hostile websites, where they intentionally attempt to undermine. Antagonists have had difficulty misleading with identifiers so clearly defined. Watch to see what newbies use to describe the modes. My goal is to point out that there are more drive features available than just the buttons alone imply, and of course, describe them. .
That's true (that's why I tried to brackets after stealth). It's the stupid media that's confusing the two modes.
