Separate names with a comma.
You can't really do an apples to apples comparison between ICE type horsepower to EV's. Electric motors generate almost full power at stall,...
Keep in mind, even after you do all this mechanical stuff, you still have to come up with an electrical drive. Also remember the Prius motors...
I was just in Louisville last month, I wish I would have known about you then! =) I might just take you up on that next time I'm out that way!
BTW, someone asked if I would do a similar analysis of the Hybrid ECU. If someone is willing to send me one, I'd be happy to! (I don't really...
Interesting! This is useful, as it shows that the Battery ECU shuts off the external charger. They clearly show a relay in there! Could be...
The CAN bus is just that; a "bus". This means electrically the same signals are present anywhere on it, and you can tap anywhere you like, just...
Yeah, I too am skeptical of the benefits of the bottom unit, but we've got a lot of good reports here. Are they placebos? Engineering-wise, the...
Well, I suspect some people that are out of warranty now will buy a salvage unit from someone like AutoBeYours or Taylor Automotive to get their...
Snatch! That's pretty cheap, so I couldn't resist. I'll let everyone know how well it fits. Thanks Supreme!
Cheap, just buy a one-way plane ticket and come out and visit us Yanks in San Francisco for a while. I know you'll have a great time! Then when...
Bottom line is, unless you happen to have old Prii laying around like Steve Woodruff, you'd be better off selling your Prius and buying a Nissan...
Several problems, one is 3 Prius packs will give you about 3kwh of usable energy. That's enough to only go about 3 miles on the highway!...
Yes, as the Ewerts have shown, the car will do 70 on a flat surface even with the transaxle and ICE spin losses. That's pretty much the upper...
Do you know if this is confirmed to fit the Gen II? It's awfully tight in there, and also even the expensive custom ones have had clearance problems.
Thanks Vertex! Yeah that switched-cap circuit is pretty neat! If I get the time, I may finish your schema. I didn't find the full datasheet,...
We don't yet know if it is corrosion. For example, the early MFD's had a known problem with solder joint fracture. It could be something similar...
Hi guys, I'm reading all this with interest. My system is working fine, but I'm curious as to what the failure mode is. If anyone here that's...
The biggest limit to EV power is actually the boost converter. It takes the battery voltage (201.6v nom) and boosts it up to whatever is needed...
Thanks Ken, But I didn't see any reference to those pins in that document. How do you know this, and do you have a schematic or some other...
While I know little of the Gen 1 system, I was under the impression that it did not use the CAN bus for these communications. If that is indeed...
