Although there likely isn't a definition of "fully loaded", my understanding, and likely the understanding most have, is that fully loaded means...
Generally, your intuition that efficiency being linked to transportation being just adequate to the task, is correct. However, in certain...
Fast charging for a very efficient car such as the PiP / Prime doesn't make any sense. Almost nobody would be willing to pull over every 10-20...
You're correct that there is useful information about MPG and that you can estimate fuel consumption using those numbers, but as mentioned above...
I've said it elsewhere, possibly in this thread, but MPGe is idiotic. All it does is confuse the consumer, who is familiar with MPG, but doesn't...

Thanks for confirming the behavior. Yes, I can monitor the 3 battery temperature sensors. None went above 75 degrees. In fact, no temperature...
I looked for used Tesla's a year ago, and they were listed at the same as new price. This is probably due to limited supply and long wait times...
Not so for all hybrids. The first gen Insight can operate with a completely dead traction battery and still get close to the same fuel economy (70...
