I think that's more or less our state motto, isn't it ;) Rob
Wasn't particularly trying to start a debate on speed cameras. Just citing an interesting study that provided a rare opportunity to compare...
Best study I have seen for a direct comparison of accident rates vs. speed was the speed camera demonstration study done in Scottsdale, AZ in...
FWIW here's the Consumer Reports data for maintenance/repair cost: Year 1: $150 Year 2-3: $550 Year 4-5: $800 Year 6-8: $1500 Bear in mind...
Two thoughts on ROFLs comments: 1) As jdh's project represents what is in essence the first diy/open project to attempt to replace the stock...
That's a good question. I believe carpooling benefits are tax exempt, would be interesting to know if charging benefits are covered anywhere. Rob
Reedja, you seem to be venturing into straw man territory here. I disagree with many of the comments above about employees being "entitled" to...
If your company doesn't have a policy on charging EVs, I would also investigate what policies they have for carpooling, biking to work, public...
BTW, more details on the testing used to generate the contours is available here starting on page 62:...
I think I did qualify the analysis as assuming a linear relation between throttle and torque, and rpm and speed, so you're quite right that's a...
I could be wrong, but my understanding is the Enginer pack is best suited to long commutes. This is because the energy stored in the battery is...
Keep in mind that its not just the increasing drag that increases the energy used to drive faster. Its also that it simply takes more energy to...
There are more detailed reports from ORNL about the test conditions for this graph, but I'd need to go back and look at them. I believe this is a...
There is a combined motor/inverter efficiency contour for the 2010 Prius in the lower right on page 10 of this ORNL report:...
I don't know if its possible (or legal) but I always thought it would cool in a PHEV conversion to commandeer the speedometer readout to display...
Thanks rofl. I think part of the confusion is indeed that the article you linked is related to the 2009-2010 early prototype PiP. This was...
Regarding the PiP not recharging the Li battery on regen, I think this was only in the early prototypes. I don't think this was a feature, just a...
Not sure I understand where you are going rofl. Sounds like you're comparing apples and oranges as it were. I don't think the lifetime advantage...
Thanks all for the comments. A few more thoughts: - Should have clarified, my interest is mostly in the Gen 2, but I imagine much is similar...
Awesome project, and great that you are doing this all out in the open! Keep up the great work! Rob
