Separate names with a comma.
Also, did you mean the actual charger in the car or the external EVSE? I think you meant the latter. A few people have had problems with it but...
I'm hoping you knowledgable PHV Prius guys can explain CleanMPG Wayne's experience with the Volt. 400lbs heavier but it gets better CD efficiency...
You're having some great results but 5.3 miles/kWh does not pencil out. That means your 72 mile trip took less than 14kWh to recharge. If that's...
That's true, but the flip side is that running the decoupled ICE at an ideal BSFC point means more excess power makes a round trip from...
If you hook an OBDII scanner up to the car in CS mode, you find it runs big throttle openings when running in series mode. I saw 75% at 1500rpm...
To be pedantic, did you actually GO 72 miles or was that how far you went plus the estimated range remaining? Did you charge 100% or the...
I leased it. $2500 down and $390/mo (including NJ taxes, 3 years DMV fees, etc). My usage pattern is ideal for the car. 25-40 miles/day. I can...
I'm over 40 miles predicted (usually 43-45) every single day, driving with traffic at all times (usually 5mph over, speeds from 35-55). By...
Weekly reports for those who have been waiting anxiously :) : 128.0 mi, 43.49 kWh. 34.0 kWh/100mi or 2.94 mi/kWh (+2 gas, 0.05gal) 123.8 mi,...
Parse every word if you like (in the context of the statement, he obviously meant "equivalent hybrid") but the person I quoted is an OEM fuel...
I'm at 195. :) Any of those guys go through EPA emissions certification?
Mine is the same. As it turns out, although I'm recording 300kWh/mo or so with the Kill-A-Watt, my usage last month was nearly identical to the...
Ah, you made me look up the modes. I'm forced to renew my point that you're obsessing over the car's behavior in what most users will find the...
I should have guessed on the alternator. I even did a quick search. Don't know what I was thinking. Great data in that report. Thanks....
Without offering any real tech, 1.5hp seems awfully low. That's (barely) enough to run my one cylinder air compressor. Aside from the obvious...
Weekly report: 264.3 mi, 79.03 kWh* -- 29.9 kWh/100mi or 3.34 miles/kWh. (+12 gas, 0.37 gal, 2 trips, 32.4 mpg) Wife had a 34.9 mile day of 80%...
It would not lock up the engine. Air trapped in a cylinder becomes (effectively) a little spring. Pumping air through the engine takes energy...
Can the valvetrain keep the valves closed while it's doing that? It doesn't seem to. 60kW is 80hp. :)
Oh, I understand why you think that driving on gas for a while, then calling subsequent engine-off miles "EV miles" will get you those 12E miles....
Wait. If we're talking about ENERGY efficiency, what difference does the price make? Yes, I imagine that will be an awful realization. I hope...
