Separate names with a comma.
The Gen2 redlines at 5k and the Gen3 at 5.2k (only number I found).
JC has a good point, even if you replace the battery, the rest of the car will still have 203k miles and be a ticking time bomb for repairs. I...
I'm kinda in the same boat as you, been considering getting rid of the Prius for a Volt. We could do probably 90% of our regular driving on...
There isn't an alternator run by the engine like a conventional car, the 12v battery is instead charged by a DC-DC converter that runs off the HV...
I think you're being a little paranoid. I would go with a small solar panel or motorcycle jumper cables as previously suggested and call it a...
Have you checked the tire pressure yet? I can drive my Prius pretty hard and still exceed the EPA ratings with no mods besides LRR tires at 51PSI.
The nominal voltage of NiMH cells is 1.2v, which is what the 201.6v is (168 cells x 1.2v). NiMH cells can exceed 1.4v when fully charged, which...
I've had this air compressor for 3.5 years and its still works great. I would recommend getting one of the clip on cigarette lighter adapters...
I agree with fuzzy1, P&G isn't any better than steady speed when using electric power. In hybrid mode/non-PiP, P&G can greatly increase mileage....
Here's a charger. It might be able to be modified to only charge to about 80%, to save the battery (charging to 100% occasionally is good, doing...
What PSI do you have in the tires? I feel like there's something wrong with your car. I bet I could drive like a madman and still break 40MPG in...
200 mile range plus the engine seems like a waste, as most people would only exceed the EV range on trips. I think 80-100 miles would be more...
What was your previous car and what kind of mileage did you get with it? As others have said, it looks like you do quite a bit of regen. The...
It isn't that bad. I replaced the fans in my Escape Hybrid's battery without a problem. Sure, I wouldn't recommend just anyone doing repairs to...
Its the original owner that's selling the car? That likely rules out inexperience with the way the Prius works, but I'm not sure what could be...
You could easily exceed your $5k budget fixing that car. Not only is the battery possibly dead, but the rest of the car has nearly a quarter...
Are you sure you even have a problem? On long hills, I've seen the battery get to two bars many times. There's no need to stop and force charge...
Maybe I'm just biased because I've never had a car with TPMS and my current tires hold air great. If you have the system and are unlikely to stay...
The TPMS doesn't have an effect on the operation of the car other than turning on the "low pressure" light. So that $74 sensor can be replaced...
If it increases the drag by 10% (just theoretical) on a regular gen3, it'll increase the drag of a plug-in by 10%. That means the amount of...
