Separate names with a comma.
Huh? Synchronous permanent magnet motors as used in the majority of EVs do not need slip-rings or a brushless exciter. However they do need a...
That's not really a meaningful question it depends how long you are maintaining the 65mph. At a constant speed there is power continuously...
Yes, but with a heavier vehicle there is also more available energy to return to the battery with regeneration. Ideally it would just scale up...
Is the New 2016 and 2017 Toyota Prius As Reliable As Older Prius Cars? | Torque News I have not seen anything to indicate that the later...
What is not an illusion is that the Prius is one of the most reliable cars in existence. The car has already failed if it is required to transfer...
Not directly but the limits are determined by the maximum rotation rate of MG1. With the gen4 the engine can be stationery up to a road speed of...
I have an Ultragauge on my gen4 Prius and I can see the engine speed operating down to 1200-1400 or so RPM will driving at high speed. I also...
Actually I disagree. For the ioniq the final drive ratio in 6th gear is 3.045. The gearbox ratio 0.767 and the tires are 195/65/R15 (same as...
"The gen2 didn't have a reduction gear for M/G2, so it needed a more powerful motor." Precisely - you cannot arbitrarily compare torques of the...
The motor may produce more torque but it's power is limited to 32kW. Power is the product of torque and RPM. The actual torque figure is pretty...
The claim was that it would be more efficient because of the larger diameter motor - that is not true. The Ioniq has a 32kW motor so it is lower...
You cannot get something for nothing - although the larger diameter motor could give it more torque for a given RPM more input power would be...
It depends upon a number of things. It always starts the ICE within a few seconds (same as earlier generations) if the block temperature is lower...
What road speeds did you use in your measurements? According to the SAE paper 2017-01-1151 the sum of MG1 and MG2 powers is indeed 76kW (23+53)...
In previous versions of Prius, PIP (and all other Toyota hybrid transmissions) MG1 does not contribute to EV mode power driving the wheels, it is...
Unfortunately there is a trend away from PVC insulation to soy based insulation in car wiring for environmental reasons - the soy based ones are...
As far as I know the Prius has had regenerative braking since the first cars were on sale in Japan in 1997. Other cars like he EV1 also had it....
Yes - 1500cc but the hybrid system was downsized - it only has 144volt NiMh hybrid battery.
Wikipedia has most of the different variations described although it is getting out of date. The larger vehicles have more complex arrangements...
It's in the manual - page 645. Either press and hold or press three times in quick succession to disable to hybrid system.
