Separate names with a comma.
Took the Prius to a mountain cabin. What a joy to drive up and down the hills with a plug-in. It's difficult to come up with good excuses for...
My understanding is that this happens on startup when there is residue(coolant?) in the cylinders, that accumulate when the car is powered off....
[ATTACH] My dealer let me know the bz4X would be stopping by today, and I had a look. I liked it. The huge wheels make it look less efficient,...
The range is why I bought the PHEV. 1000km is incredible. Extended EV range and being able to run cleanly in town is a nice bonus.
Now that Winter is here again, I am getting experienced in warmup cycles. I have noticed the following: In warm weather, the engine will run a...
I use a heat pump to heat my home, I believe this is pretty common in the nordics. At -7°C it as an efficiency coefficient of about 5, and for...
I had my car inspected and tested under warranty. I am unconvinced of their testing method, as despite me trying to explain multiple times that...
I was also curious about this in the beginning. It is claimed that power mode will also affect other things than the throttle, but I can't really...
Ah, I see. And many thanks for that PDF, I will print and bring it to my dealer, maybe it will help them investigate. (y)
That's good information. I'll update this post once the mechanics have looked at the car and told me to stop complaining. :)
I think it used to be faster. That may of course be wishful thinking. But it also cooled slowly at the end of summer, again the long delay before...
Winter is here, and so I like to do things like preheating the car. But it feels weak. At almost 30.000km I'm thinking ...maybe I used up the...
Something to keep in mind is that the battery display is not perfectly accurate, and takes a while to stabilize. So if you drain it quickly before...
This is not necessarily a problem. The range indicator (Guess-o-meter) is extremely inaccurate, and should not be relied upon. Better for your...
My time does have some value, but so does my satisfaction of getting maximum output :p. I would be very interested in numbers, i.e. what is the...
I was reading the thread about EV range, and there's one question I can't get out of my head. Assuming the Prius is driving on electric power, is...
My best is 70km, which is about 43 miles, but I consider anything above 50km a great success. When using the AC at full power and just pressing...
No! Sounds like a PHEV is a great fit for your usage.
I have a town 12km away (and with quite a bit of elevation change), and I enjoy driving back and forth in EV mode. I can go about 2-3 trips on one...
I charge mine after every trip. After learning about the buffer “on top” I have no concerns. Maybe 5 times a week? I use the 8 amp option.
