Separate names with a comma.
By the way - The reason why I'm asking this, and why it came up is...some of the energy savings calculations seem to assume re-charging a...
I'm sensing some confusion amongst PHV afficianado's. One says the ICE won't fully re-charge the battery (implying that the ICE does function in...
I'm sorry, and I don't wish to sound rude, but everybody seems to be ignoring, or dancing around my question, which is - When the PHV is run...
OK, but somebody said that the ICE would never be able to fully re-charge the new Li battery. Fine. My question then becomes, how much does it...
Your first point - I did not know this. OK, maybe not fully charged...but how will it work when you go your 10 or 13 miles on all electric? Will...
Yes, and there are plenty of reports on this web site (alone) where people have gotten 65 or 70 mpg in the G3 Prius. But I don't believe that's...
CIT, Nice/good analysis, but a few corrections/clarifications. The current US average for off-peak electrical rates are about 11 cents/kWh,...
Who's "woory" about Toyota? Not me. ;) Although i would like to see this segment grow, and have more Americans embrace hybrid/electric vehicles....
You still here? Really, go back to spewing about terrorism, oil and the war...you really know nothing about this subject. Sorry to sound...
Comparing base models in each. If the base PHV Prius comes out at $29K (for example), and then fully loaded, you might be looking at a car that's...
What's the objective here? Well, that depends on your perspective. IMO (as I stated many posts ago) - Toyota would be foolish to price the PHV...
Sure I am...ie, talking about price as it relates to "perceived value". Payback is all part of the "perceived value". If something is perceived to...
I'll say this one more time - we're done. Your rant about oil, war and terrorism - on the prior page - was absolutely priceless. Gotta print...
"disingenuous" about what? That I believe price is a major factor in any car buying experience - for most people? I'm in marketing, and point...
I think the title of the thread, and my first post pretty much said what I was looking for. What's hard for you to understand? What's followed...
...and exactly what are the hidden costs of the PHV? - Getting 220V installed at your home? - The added electrical consumption at home (energy...
My case is way more miles and gallons saved than that. If we're talking 21K for a car (ie 2010 Prius) versus, say, $29-$30K for a PHV prius,...
Most American car buyers. The Prius is a medium sized car...remarkable amount of room, for both forward and aft-cabin. Also, I wanted a hatch,...
Average annual sales of Prii in the US (over the past few years) are around 100K. I think (?) early in the sales year for the gen3 Prius were on...
Thanks for the link. I think this said it best - "It'd take a lot of tanks (and/or charges) to make up the price difference between a...
