For those who say you should not maximize charging when stopping--I think that's not quite so. As I understand it, when you slow, you usually do...
All threads merge into one, and a Prius runs through it. --the late, great Norman Maclean
I overstated--yes, nimble does help sometimes. It just doesn't help you when you are the idiot, as we all are sometimes. I sure am.
Let's not use red herrings here. The claim about large cars being safer was about two cars--e.g., a Camry in collision with a Yaris. And I bet...
