I changed mine after five years and 85,000 miles of "normal" driving in NJ, where we have winters and summers, although neither is extreme. There...
I'd take Don Tuite's word as gospel. He's an editor of Electronic Design, and you don't get more authoritative (geeky) than that. What he...
I took this voltage data almost two years ago. It shows Prius battery voltage while driving along with SOC as exhibited by the dashboard display....
I've been advocating generators at home for a long time. Of course most of us already have them in the form of the Prius. Certainly if this is a...
A 220V DC outlet strip.
I sold my 1990 Corvette ZR1, a not-terribly-rare but at least modestly collectible car, on eBay. I had to list it three times. The first "buyer"...

Bob Wilson (above) has the 12V answer: ~1KW. He's done the experiments and the measurements. The traction battery, with suitable voltage...
Where's choice #4? "I needed a generator for my house and decided that if I got a Prius, I could use it for transportation as well." (So far...
Daniel just said: "Unfortunately, when GM announced that the ICE in the Volt would not recharge the battery, they gave up one of the big...
The Volt is really a "plug-in hybrid." It just seems more electric because of the bigger battery. I'm not ready for a full electric car and...
As old as the plate is, I'm still on my first fill-up. Richard [IMG]
Ask a simple question and you get a pageant! It's generally true that arriving at the bottom of the hill with maximum kinetic energy (faster)...
I've observed this too, and I think that it's an artifact of measurement. The battery is unlikely to self-discharge by such a great amount in...
