Out of gas? :D
Only if you take away momentum. In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics! (If the motor is spinning freely at a given speed, it has to...
So a rough estimate from that graph, 270 Volts * 20 Amps * 5 seconds = 7.5 watt hours. So 7.5 Wh / 1.4 kWh is about 0.5% SoC - and that's only...
^^ Wash with like colors. Line dry only. Do not use bleach, do not tumble dry.
I'm pretty sure I've seen the engine off in B mode, but you are absolutely right - it is very reluctant to do so. B mode is not useful if your...
You heard wrong. It takes very little power to start the engine. Consider the mass of the car relative to the mass of the pistons and other moving...
Some people can feel the difference in braking. If you brake lightly (ie 100% regen), you might notice the changeover as it switches to friction...
It also depends how good your ninja-fu is. I usually sneak up on my car fast enough that the lights don't start coming on until right about when I...
I keep the fob with me while backpacking, personally. My backpack has a zippered interior compartment with a hook for keys, so I figure that's...

Sigh, I don't know why I'm taking the bait, but... Page 170 of the 2010 Prius Owners Manual, in the EV-Drive Mode section.
Not only does the EPA use 100% gas, I've read that it's specially crafted in small batches under very controlled conditions to make sure that what...
It doesn't have to be a big sales feature to be set by marketing. Nor does it even have to be advertised, or even mentioned. I can tell you there...
Self-resetting fuse or thermal protection shutoff, perhaps?
It's almost certainly negligible. Most parts of the head unit are probably powered on regardless of whether you're listening to music or not. At...
Yes, they could have done this, but they didn't. The best evidence that the choice of top EV speed was not dictated by efficiency is that it...
