I designed my house per Passive Solar House of James Kachadorian. Biggest change is 25% of south-facing walls are windows that are shaded in...
"B" mode does not use engine braking when plug-in hybrid is in EV mode -- the engine is not rotating. That chart (from rjparker) does not apply to...
I agree with Trollbait. To me, Sport driving is about response from the vehicle. When the regenerative braking is stronger (as in "B" mode rather...
I have 3kW of solar on my roof, grid-connected. I set the charging schedule in my Prime to 8:30-4:30 to take advantage of the solar and not put a...
We got stuck in Chaco Canyon, 40 miles of gravel road from pavement, then farther to a tire store, with a mini-spare that had deflated to 30 psi...

Documentation does not appear to be a Toyota strong point. Like much technical documentation, it is written from an engineer perspective, not a...
My '24 Prime got 4.3 miles/kWhr over 387 battery-only miles. By my arithmetic, if your electricity costs $0.40/kWhr off-peak, then you will pay...
I've never had (or felt I needed) 4-wheel drive. Lived in northern New Hampshire, Boston, Seattle, Taos. The only time I've had trouble I drove...
