The toll concept is best. In a perfect world, your vehicle would be charged for road use based on its size and weight, and the amount you drive,...
Thanks for the article. The 1900w/kg that Dhar claims to have achieved for lead-acid is a power density spec rather than an energy density spec....
Wireless charging for electric vehicles is a bad idea. Even if the transmission is 95% efficient, you'd still be throwing kw of power away on...
Usually, pulling the sample from the pan invalidates the results. I've seen really bad reports from people who tried it, but your sample is the...
Looks like Toyota marketing is targeting the snob cook chef market--or more accurately, fans of the snob chefs. How can I get a job with Toyota...
I agree. Lithium-ion batteries typically have 3 times the energy density of NiMH and a host of other advantages as well. Toyota still uses the...
I don't see any external drive belts, so that's a plus, but the Toyota split-power device is such a simple and elegant way to simultaneously...
The Japanese, for all their engineering prowess, don't seem to have an eye for beauty. This is especially true for Toyota. Toyota would be way...
I think the traction battery for the Prius C is only .9kwh. To make the battery last a long time and to avoid cell reversal it isn't a good idea...
Maybe the calculated value doesn't account for ethanol-contaminated gasoline.
Gasoline is a very inefficient way to warm the engine. It's also much more expensive per BTU than electricity. Not only does a block heater save...
I'll be following the thread with interest. I don't see any product for the Prius C on Plug-In's website. What will you do with the NiMH battery?
The 2013 Prius C will come in yellow or summer rain. They're dropping all the other colors. They're increasing the capacity of the battery to...
There's an intermittent short in the wiring leading to the horn switch most likely. It shouldn't be too tough to run it down once the horn switch...
Wow. Perfect ECO score and yet only 40mpg. How do you manage to get only 40mpg over 150 mile range? Carry a couch on the roof? Tow a trailer with...
Thanks for the pic of the 4X100 wheel. Sadly, it's awful. It's a 5-lug design and there's no way to make it a 4x100 without making an amateurish...
Any update on this? I've been trying to find a picture of the 4-lug version with no luck.
You could always jack the right front wheel and right rear wheel up, one-at-a-time, and turn them by hand to see if you can isolate the sound to...
