Separate names with a comma.
How about a manual switch? During the day your drier, etc. could run and at night your EV could charge (or any time the drier, etc. aren't being...
This is an interesting idea. Toyota's goal is probably to reduce energy consumption and only use the fan when it is most effective. I used to...
We get ave. 45km (28 miles) on full battery with our 2018 Prius PHV (import from Japan). The battery requires ave. 6.0kWh to fully charge i.e....
How much would an 18.1kWh battery (or similar) weigh? Some have suggested that the 8.8kWh battery in the Gen.2 Prius PHEV/Prime is already...
If that safety feature is present (which has a certain logic about it) then that would be a problem. I'm not so keen on bypassing safety features...
From about 2019 the Gen. 2 Prius PHEV (aka Prime) models have a 3-person rear bench-seat instead of the 2 bucket seats. (Alas, mine is a 2018...
The 2018, Gen. 2 Prius PHEV (aka Prime in US) has the larger 8.8kWh battery. On average we get 45km (28 miles) on a full battery, which currently...
Yes, I'd love to replace my 8.8kWh battery with a larger one. Currently though, after a year of use there is no sign of significant degradation so...
If finishing charging when close to full is a problem, perhaps the second charger needs a cut-off switch at perhaps 95% charge, or at a suitable...
Agreed, per minute costs in addition to cost/kWh make charging at 3.3kW pretty much always uneconomic compared to using the ICE. These combined...
An upgrade from 3.3kW to 6.6kW for AC charging would have quite a few advantages, in some regions more than others of course. I already have...
I should compare between charging DC and AC more directly i.e. apples with apples. CHAdeMO is limited automatically to DC 17kW while charging with...
Great! Keep in mind the part numbers Elektroingenieur gave:
Yes, that button can only select HV and the one EV mode. The second button has an Eco function, which does modify the EV mode - it raises the...
Our 2018 Prius PHV requires 5.8kWh to fully charge. (The Prius PHV is called "Prime" in some countries e.g. North America.) It has driven 44,000km...
If (when?) you seriously consider swapping a battery, it might be possible to (greatly) increase the capacity. There are new batteries coming...
While you are making such major changes, you might consider upgrading the max. AC charging power from 3.3kW to around 7kW (possibly instead of...
Thank you once again, Elektroingenieur. There is obviously much to learn regarding EV's. I've stripped ICE engines down to individual nuts and...
Hi Trollbait, sorry I missed your question back then. Our Japanese imported, Gen 2 Prius Plugin hybrid has 2 buttons for selecting modes. One...
Now perhaps it's time for me to write "ohhhh really!! let me read through this... [ I'd like to] ... add this to my prius ..." (ref.yr post 9 Nov...
