According to the attached graph published by Toyota in their SAE paper the optimum RPM is about 2600RPM with the range from about 2200RPM to...
You press and hold the random button (I can't remember the actual wording) to toggle between random within a folder and random with the entire...
According to this review from Motor Trend it is close to 60/40 which is somewhat typical for front wheel drive cars. 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid vs....
It is not even necessary to put the car into B mode to avoid brake wear on many hills. Even in D the Prius will use engine braking when the...
A minor addition: Even without going into 'B' mode, engine braking will be activated if the SOC becomes all green and you have your foot gently...
I don't believe you noticed my phrase "for the same technology level". Yes - you can make a turbo-diesel have more torque than a naturally...
I like the term "split-path hybrid" to describe the Prius as it can act like a parallel or series hybrid. It has a mechanical path direct to the...
I was surprised but that is exactly what they do here in this link from Calcars: see PriusPlus-Theory - EAA-PHEV PriusPlus-RawData - EAA-PHEV...
There are no brushes - they are permanent magnet synchronous AC motors. The inverters convert the DC power from the battery/generators into AC or...
The OP said 5-7 miles after the "Add Fuel" message. That usually occurs a long while after the pip starts blinking. And means that fuel is...
The display for HP seems to be 10 times the actual value - if you divide the display by 10 you get reasonable numbers. i.e. it should have a...
You are comparing apples to oranges - for the same size engine and similar technology a gasoline engine will produce more torque - you are...
(2) Not true - currently there are no diesel cars sold in CA because they don't meet the emission standards. There will be MY 2009 cars sold but...
For long distance steady speeds on level roads (e.g freeways in Florida) the battery is if little value, where there are many changes of engine...
Using the battery more would almost certainly give worse consumption. When the Prius is running off the battery it is in effect taking a loan...
Be careful when quoting consumption in MPG from Europe (specifically the UK) the English (Imperial) gallon is 1.2 times the size of the US gallon....
The intensity of a CRT will decrease with time in a similar way to plasma displays as they both use phosphors to create the image. The lifetime...
Yes but then it automatically goes into engine braking as in B mode - the friction brakes do not come on unless you apply much more braking pedal...
Not quite correct - in 'D' if you get the battery solid green and apply the brakes the ICE will spin faster to absorb energy just as in 'B" mode....
