Separate names with a comma.
I would think time to engine start would be about the same as minimum time to engine start is likely a hard coded delay for system durability....
I now nearly always use the power mode, because I now find I can more easily tap into glide (no regen) without glancing at the HSI in that mode...
If I wasn't so technically inclined, I'd would have left at perception. It's just everytime this comes up the answers are too simplistic. Duh....
Note I am not talking about faster accleration. Yes 100% pedal depression in Eco mode is the same throttle postion as 100% pedal depression in...
I experience this too coming up to a specific stop sign, where they are doing street repairs and the top 2 inch surface of the asphalt is milled...
I find when I accelerate quickly from a stop up to about 30 mph in Power Mode, the car accelerates with less engine noise (more refined) than in...
One should note going up a hill stores energy far more efficiently than the Prius battery. Now if the uphills could keep the car at optimum BSFC...
Conventional cars have to rev the engine while holding the brake (or holding the clutch) to get a quick start. The Prius will instantly start...
It would be interesting to know what % of the waste heat energy produced is from the friction component compared to the direct heat from the...
Is it just that the power extracted in the power stroke is correlated to cylinder wall temp up to about the 190F? explained perhaps by more...
I think the location of where the study was done may have been a factor. If it was a wealthy community that normally drives Mercedes and the like...
To add it pisses me off driving behind Prius's that accelerate too slowly falsely thinking they're improving their fuel consumption. I probably...
Granted in an extreme hypothetical case one could create a 0-60, 60 to 0, 0-60, over and over for the 33% highway and then what is the likelihood...
How can the U.S. Government official fuel economy website make a statement like this? "Quick acceleration and heavy braking can reduce fuel...
Or would it? Less import of oil, the money saved in gas would be spent stimulating the economy. Toyota would probably set up 10 Prius plants in...
So I've set my Android Torque app to show real-time BSFC for the last few weeks. I know most other cars use fuel enrichment during warmup, but as...
Poor Power density as opposed to Energy density (of the HV battery) is the reason why traditional hybrid electric vehicles can't achieve far...
That's exactly what the analysis is based on. The battery round trip efficiency is at best 50% when all conditions are optimum, 60 amp charge...
I was having this issue with my Gen III and what I found worked was not to go into the Realtime Info (gauges) screen until the 2 ODB blue symbols...
