Separate names with a comma.
In the energy monitor, have the thickness of the arrow between the battery and motor vary according to the number of watts flowing to/from the battery
I went to the dealer for an oil change today. They used 5w20. The canadian version of the Prius owner's guide says 5w20 or 0w20 can be used....
Make the battery level indicator react more linearly with battery range. As it is now, bar 6 takes much longer to get depleted than bars 5 or 4...
:) Many people hate the back "wing". It does indeed block the view. Having said that, the rear view is limited, but it is not -that- bad. Even...
I just added another graph, this time showing sales of Prius vs sales of all other hybrids.
PriusAndHybrids
FYI Compiled from hybridcars.com Number of units sold per month in the US. No distinction between model II and III (e.g. 2009 and 2010) [IMG]...

A live version of this graph on display: [IMG] showing instantaneous ICE position on the graph as a point, as well as 2 arrows on the sides of...
A button that, when pushed, would force the Hybrid System to recharge the battery to 8 bars. Would be useful prior to leaving the highway, to...
Thanks. I really did not know how to call it. I realize "sudden acceleration" is not ideal, just the best my french speaking mind could find... :)
There is something I particularly like about the Prius - how it behaves at low speeds. The car seems to react much more linearly to the...
Thanks. Have you been in a situation where you could actually recharge the long range battery by a significant amount by regenerative braking...
Then wouldn't it make sense to use a electric heater to heat up the cat instead of using the ICE? It could be wrapped into an insulated...
efusco, what happens if you turn the heater on when the engine is cold while running in EV mode? Do you get heat from an electric heater? Or can...
Every morning I leave the driveway in EV mode. Then, I drive down a 0.8 km long downhill road. EV mode stops as soon as I reach 15 km/h, then...
I believe it could be fine as long as the button would need to be maintained depressed, as suggested, for the acceleration to be limited....
A button on the steering wheel that, when depressed, lets the driver make sure the level indicated on the HSI never crosses the middle bar, even...
Interesting. As I looked under the car the other day I saw the plastic cover, and I thought the same. The problem is rust does not only happen...
A plug-in upgrade kit when the plug-in version is available
