Separate names with a comma.
I went for a drive in poor conditions two days ago, as we had an unexpected snowfall (this is supposed to be the middle of spring :eek:), and I...
I would assume that if you put the pedal to the metal under any condition it would trigger eventually, assuming the top speed isn't software...
I think it is intended to run at higher RPMs, in bursts. That makes noise. I try to embrace it. Going up long hills is the worst, since it may...
I don't disagree. My understanding is that the OP is asking about what happens if you are in HV mode, and ask for more power than the ICE can...
When you use up the EV range, the Prime will behave like a regular Prius (which is surprisingly good). If you are planning on climbing an...
I tested CHG mode on the expressway today and came out markedly worse. Almost 10% difference. The car is incredibly efficient in HV mode.
Aha! So it is as if it is alternating between EV and CHG mode. At high speeds it can use the all the energy from the ICE directly, which is more...
I should probably have said that this is in HV mode. And I don’t think there is a problem, I just wonder why it behaves like this. Maybe it is...
I have been driving more than normally lately. When driving on the expressway, at ~110km/h, the engine will stay on. When I drive on the highway...
Isn’t the explanation for the defroster turning the engine on simply that it uses the AC in reverse (to dehumidify). So it needs the engine...
A month ago I got a chip in the bottom middle part of the windscreen. Cruising at a sensible ~110 km/h I was overtaken by a Volvo, heard a loud...
I feel mine is was positioned too close to the middle. There's like a constant tug-of-war between me and the car. I think I would enjoy it more if...
February is nearing its end, and temperatures have been above freezing for about a week. What a difference that makes when driving the plug-in!...
I used to own a gen2, which I upgraded to a 2020 plug-in last year. I don't have experience with the gen3. The things that I didn't like about the...
Since the past weeks have been extraordinarily cold, I have gotten some more practice. Here is what I've learned so far: I park in an unheated...
I’ve been able to drive in EV mode in -20C, but if you want heat the ICE will take a loooong time to reach operating temperature. Eventually there...
A resistive heating element is all that's missing for the vehicle to behave the same in hot and cold temperatures. I think the predictable...
Yesterday I went for an appointment and had a hard time to get the car into EV mode, as it was -12C. When heading out for groceries today I...
Yesterday I went for a 15m trip, and one way the car would not switch off the engine. On the way back it was off for parts of the trip. On a...
When I know my trip will be beyond EV range I toggle HV mode and then back to EV mode shortly after starting the trip. This warms up the engine...
