@hill , from your recent posts in this thread I gather you agree that for certain speeds range, pulse & glide on flat roads can increase...
Worth mentioning here that EPA's 25 miles AER for the prime is a combined result weight calculated from 27.1 miles urban drive (55%) and 22.8...
I believe 25/133 are also Toyota submission/declaration to EPA and not EPA actual test in thier facilities but I may be worng. Posted via the...
It's not EPA that is conservative, it is Toyota. I Doubt if EPA have even tested the Prime yet. .
My experience with the PiP is the same. But if you consume about 22-25% by driving ~3 miles or more EV and then hit HV then the system does try to...
Have you noticed by any chance the battery SOC before plugging in? HV portion of battery can be 'full' e.g. just after zero EV miles, or can be...
If tire pressure is analog to battery voltage and amount of air in it to charge, then maybe a better analogy is to inflate a bicycle tire with a...
I cannot edit any more so I want to add: The points raised above (except for the last one) are valid IMO if you want to check HV efficiency of a...
As I said, it is a new concept and personally I do not like it because: - It leads to very horrible HV mpg, sometimes far below EPA rating. No...
Another factor to consider is the price fall of the Lion batteries 8-12 years from now (if you still have the car and want to renew the battery).
â– Regenerative braking In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and deceleration force can be obtained in...
I am not giving advices, simply describing my experience with the PiP. @Rebound , have you ever tried B position on downhill? or is it just an...
I am not sure, when driving downhill in HV mode, the ICE is not spinning (up to max. speed allowed) so I believe B position operates the same as...
The design philosophy is very simple: if there is a regeneration opportunity, it will be "un-prius" not to capture it. Manual may be not detailed...
With the PiP - No. I suspect same for the Prime.
Unlike a regular prius, B mode in Plug-in one will actually charge the battery without spinning the ICE. So, less need of using the brake pedal....
With the way Prime is calculating EV miles (miles with no gasoline consumption - no matter what mode you are in) one estimated range is really...
Hope this new pricing decision will be across all Europe, bringing the entering price from EUR ~38000 down to EUR ~35500 (before any incentive).
@Lee Jay , I wonder if a slight slope up of the track (say 1%) will make a dent in the calculations?
