My understanding is that the current always goes through the hall effect sensor in one direction. In the Enginer case it goes through the current...
Frog, maybe you need a couple of these ;) K&H Pet Products Thermo-Crinkle Sack Heated Bed - Web Exclusive Sale - Featured Products - PetSmart
Ok, that's very interesting! I guess its not a surprise that we still have a lot to learn about how the PiP works. Its taken years of studying...
What will be sort of interesting to see is whether the low dealer price on this part translates to good deals on batteries from wrecks :)
FWIW this version shows 3 different part numbers, $2994.64 for SERVICE RESS PACK or SERVICE RESS PACK - CLASS A and $3500 for EXPORT SERVICE ONLY....
If that's real, that's pretty incredible. About the cheapest decent Li batteries I've seen are the grey market A123 pouches with the tabs cut off....
As I think Frog has illustrated, OOG mode is a bit messy but is one of the keys to getting the most out of a kit like the PIS (200mpg+ rather than...
That's fine, but its not like you can plug in another stock battery and have it actually do anything ;) Interesting data point though, I don't...
There seem to be 3 ways to get the PIS kit. 1) Full DIY for around $4700. Basically you get a whole bunch of parts drop shipped from the...
Ok, good to know that in the PiP the batteries have to sit above the floor.
Just to be clear, as far as I know the PIS kit does still have to "trick" the Prius/PiP using a variant of the SOC Spoofing approach. As I...
PIS has gone to a modular approach to their DIY kits, to order for a PiP you simply order the components needs as described below. I believe Jim...
FWIW here is a picture of the 4kW kit installed in a Gen 3. I think the only impact to cargo capacity is a loss of some of the under floor area....
Sounds about right. With this kit the PIS/PIP should have about 8-9kWh total capacity and about 6kWh useable. Volt has 16kWh and about 10kWh...
In general you are correct. The Prius is usually smarter than the driver at this point ;) Where this is not true is when you know things that...
No problem. I hope you don't take my comments as being critical. As I said I'm very impressed with what you put together. Its a very creative...
The other piece of the puzzle is the efficiency of the electric motor/inverter which is shown on the bottom of page 65 of this ORNL report:...
I agree with the conclusion, but would like to propose a slightly different explanation. To start with, route optimization and driving style is...
I think that's important to remember, and sometimes lost in the trees of EV range etc. In general you always want to use up the battery as much as...
FWIW this would more or less defeat the purpose of a plug-in hybrid. The whole point is that charging the battery off the grid (generally) uses...
