That seems like a typical kill-a-watt measured full charge from empty from what I've seen people posting, 3-3.2kWh. Rob
That is interesting, didn't see that part. Lean burn makes more sense than anything the hydrogen might be doing. Honda runs up to 22:1 in their...
Thanks John. To be sure we're using apples to apples, EV range should be typical observed range summer/winter average, power per charge should be...
Innerpri, the answer really lies in what you want :) The PiP will certainly use less gas. It will probably not save enough money wise to pay for...
Nice use of false equivalency and presumed causality there. There are two related methods used in studying complex systems like weather, or...
I'm not sure I understand this base assumption. Why is the cost between gas and wall charging is relevant? In charge sustain mode the Prius will...
Nice analogy. Except that Galileo was technical, was brilliant, and spent years compiling the scientific evidence to support his theory. The...
inquiring minds want to know :)
That seems like a very valid concern. Might be worth getting a scan gauge or similar and trying the normal commute route once in a manually...
Part of it is the batteries, but with that short a commute the engine warm-up cycle is probably killing you too. A block heater might actually...
I think PK was just observing that this is basically how you get 120V in your house. A typical electric service is 240V, with two out of phase...
Based on the info here: http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy06osti/40605.pdf a high class (ie big & expenssive) commercial electrolyzer uses about 53.4 -...
Good comments all! Lopez, your thoughts on the second controller seem to make sense. Guessing that's why PIS does it as an add on ECM to their...
I know, I know, its all in the Brown's gas and whirling vortex of power :D
yup. electricity plus water = hydrogen with much less potential energy than the amount of electricity initially consumed = stupendous mileage ;)...
100 degrees? I've seen seat temps of 160 here in Phoenix ;)
There are a number of apps you might try using to monitor the data usage if you want to try and nail it down. Data Usage by sigterm looks...
This thread was from before anyone had gotten their PiP ;)
There are lots of other discussions you can read now that lots of folks have PiPs in the wild, but I believe people are finding its about 3-3.4kWh...
I dont' have a real good handle on the control structure, but I'm talking about the basic PSD operation as simulated here: Toyota Prius - Power...
