Well, I know from data collected that it's well capable of even more than 25kW peaks, (I've seen close to 30kW!) but the boost converter limits...
The only important piece of tech you need on board is a scantool. Keep in mind that inverter pump failure almost never leaves anyone stuck on the...
Guys, this is an unnecessary thing. The IPMs have thermal sensors in them and will set a code if for any reason they don't get enough cooling....
On my car I have installed a hack that makes the car "play dead" when the fob is removed and the car is still in ready. All the dash lights go...
[Here's] how to get the top dash out. The driver's airbag is 2 Torx T-40 (IIRC... could be another size) screws on either side of the wheel under...
On the 3rd gen: It's very hackable, maybe even more so. I have looked at it a few times and it should be possible to do many interesting things....

Actually, max (peak) battery power on a Gen II is close to 30kW, but can sustain about 21kW.
As Kayak_Hauler mentioned, the HV ECU keeps the ICE spinning at over 42mph. This consumes several hundred watts if you are gliding over 42, which...
You are only getting +12 from the outlet, correct? You are getting your ground from pin A-28 on the ECM, right? If you also ground the arduino...
I think the THS is around 85% efficiency total. This includes the MG, the Inverter, and the boost converter. The battery is different, as it's...
The LED draw is under 20ma which is nothing in the scheme of things. If you are worried, simply unplug it. I suspect a little dirt on your car...
I just did my first change at 21k. Same findings, dark color, fine black gunk on plug. Took a sample and sending it off to Blackstone as soon as...
The charging rate is nothing compared to the discharge rate. That's where the real stress is! Even my relatively low powered PHEV conversion...
I suppose dumping a bunch of gas on a fire department is both an event and a disaster! (and probably a training exercise as well!) :-D I'm just...
Funny, there is an ongoing discussion in the Nissan Leaf Forum about just the opposite thing! =)
Toyota seems to get complaints from Gen II drivers who live in the mountains even when they aren't towing, so this makes sense! =)
As a long time "Hacker" myself, I appreciate the reference, KBeck! =)
But there will be more overall heat created this way, so that doesn't make sense. The big doozy is the hit to the range! Why put in 5.2kWh of EV...
The Prius HSD can be considered a type of CVT with the variable ratios implemented electrically. (or electromechanically) Most mechanical CVT...
