I still don't really get where you are going. Sure MPG in HV mode is pretty much a wash, so if you never charged the battery there would be no...
All depends on one's definition of "better" for sure. From an electric drive efficiency standpoint.... DC Wh (Wh/mi : MPGe) to complete UDDS CS...
IMHO the PiP is a better electric vehicle too. Albeit one very limited in range and performance ;)
It actually has a very specific, and I think useful meaning. It is a measure of the overall thermal and mechanical efficiency of a vehicle. That...

Anyone know when the '15 v is expected to hit dealers? We had pretty good luck negotiating the price on a '13 v3 at the end of 2013 as they were...
It seems like they do both hybrid pack rebuilds (with nimh cells) and have a 6kW lithium plugin upgrade based on the website. A 6kW plugin...
Sounds very risky. To check you would need something like a 12V jump pack to get it powered on (may have to disconnect old battery if its really...
I'd look over the AC condenser while you're at it. Assuming its the same as the Gen2, its position low and in front of the radiator tends to make...
Short trips plus hot temps w/AC is a bit of a double whammy. The ICE warmup cycle will be shorter, but the AC is usually working hard to bring...
LOL
My understanding is that the base entune systems do not have any kind of wireless data modem other than bluetooth. They can only talk to the...
Just be aware that a generic code reader can't see most of the meaningful codes, they are vehicle specific. I believe something like torque or...
My 2c... - How you fill may affect the accuracy of the fuel gauge but has nothing to do with the accuracy of the mpg readout. It uses injector...
That sounds right. I tend to think of a brushless DC PM motor like a brushed DC traction motor turned inside out. The field is generated by the...
A couple of thoughts/comments... - MG1 and MG2 are permanent magnet motors, there is no field winding that can be de-energized. - My...
I know the v has the vents under the seats, does the liftback also? My recollection is on the v you have to set the vent to dash and feet to get...
Never had any complaints about the AC on our '05 or '08, or our new "v" here in Phoenix. Also ride in the back of a coworker's Gen 3 liftback...
There are a number of pumps and valves etc that actuate at various intervals after parking, but I can't think of any that would affect the...
FYI here is the thread from back in 2012 on one install of the smaller PIS kit. Yielded 26-28 miles EV total before he sold it to buy a Tesla....
