See guys, you'll have to forgive me for not being jealous / envious of this new PHV coming from Toyota. My 2005 Prius already does all this with...
The big difference between the OEM Toyota PHV and the high end aftermarket PHEV conversion systems is overall acceleration power. After market...
Annual state inspection? You mean like emissions inspection or safety inspection? Andrew
80 MPG is probably pushing it a bit depending on your driving habits and climate with just 1 converter but I'll let you make that call. Don't...
*sigh*, Sorry Dan I didn't mean to touch a nerve again but there's no need to get upset. All I'm saying is that I believe the driver aspect (pedal...
Hi Dan, Have you tried driving with the heater / defroster on yourself? I would recommend trying to drive the vehicle with said heater on and see...
Sounds like there may be a legitimate "problem" then. It could be related to your 12v battery--unless you replaced it obviously. I assume by...
Hmmm...P0A90-605 is caused when there is an imbalance in motor power (that is, abnormal amounts of electricity going to / coming from the motor)....
Give Steve Woodruff at AutoBeYours (autobeyours.com) a call. He deals with salvage Prius stuff all the time--he can probably hook you up with a...
Hi Dan, Forgive me for asking, but why are some of the cell voltages going /down/ while charging? I can't tell from the picture which ones, but...
All of these codes have to do with the high voltage battery system (First one is service plug failure, second two are contactor related and the...
Mmm, fair enough :). I would recommend you get a Scangauge then since it doesn't require having a laptop in the car with you to read data and can...
Correct. While you won't get my endorsement (not that you asked) it's your car--if you feel comfortable driving it in that condition, hey that's...
Hi Adric, Well, you already know my stance on the safety hazards of disabling the engine. The Gen1 doesn't have as much oomph as the Gen2 and the...
Yikes--sounds like the battery may have been defective from the start. Typically they last 100,000+ miles as they are very sturdy batteries. Did...
Correct--though probably not as much as in the Gen2 as I believe the Gen3 warms up faster and it has a lower EV mode speed limit making it harder...
Without getting into details, I think it's extremely unlikely for something like this to produce consistent behavior (which would be required for...
I'm pretty sure the volt was originally planning on using a LiFePO4 chemistry (eyeing A123 as a possible supplier) but I believe they switched to...
Fairly sure--yes. Everybody has their own proprietary method for making batteries but the core chemistry is essentially the same. Most of the...
GM is being cautious with the Volt and only using 50% of the battery (its a 16 kWhr pack as I understand it and it's limited to ~8 kWhr). They...
