Nice to see you on PriusChat...
Not knowing how the room temperatures are controlled, it is possible that the circulating pump runs constantly. 200 watt sounds about right. 7...
This is my mileage after the 900+ mile round trip to the coast. All in Eco, no cruise. No sore leg. It is just a game... Pat
So neither trip was done without substantial cruise control. I am not sure where the proof is. Texting while driving is illegal where I live....
As opposed to shifting the car into neutral, which is illegal in most states. It does take some effort, which is probably the key here.
The Prius has two systems that provide almost 70% of the fuel efficiencies that we enjoy- the regeneration systems and the Synergy drive firmware....
You can use the AVG gauge on the ScanGauge to track the segment mileage. It becomes clear pretty quickly that cruise lowers mileage. My road trips...
There is a 100 amp fuse in the DC line from the DC-DC converter to the battery. You will want to keep the current draw below 80 amps/1000 watts.
The warm-up takes about 5 minutes, and consists of several stages (see link above). It is only during Stage 1 that the battery runs the car. After...
Run the wiring through a switch inside the house and use it to turn off the power to the plug. Alternately, you can turn off the circuit breaker...
The Renault website talks about engine braking, but no details. It sounds similar to the Synergy system. I sometimes wonder if people just...
This probably does not happen in neutral. It is a function of the Synergy firmware, which is disabled in neutral. You really need to understand...
Cruise control makes it a lot easier to go a long ways, but you cannot maximize mileage by using it. The car cannot respond to road conditions...
Unfortunately, numbers in a signature do not mean much. The two things that contribute about 2/3's of the Prius' efficiency are the regeneration...
This may be the case during highway driving, but not in urban/suburban situations. I regularly drive with 2-3 bars and the engine stays off. It is...
The 12,750 watts seems high. The Gen3 A/C is rated at 5000 watts.
fuzzy1 is exactly correct in that you need to drive the car and see what works for you. Do not impede traffic and always be safe. My commute is...
I am assuming when you say EV mode you mean "pushing the EV button" mode. As noted above, there aren't a lot of times where it makes sense....
When the Prius starts, the engine comes on and starts charging the battery. There is little or no drain during start-up.
You can use a ScanGauge...maybe borrow one. A dealer can do it but might charge for it.
