Separate names with a comma.
I am not sure what you are trying to say. I did not discuss using EV mode at all. My point was, and is, that there is little or no cost to the...
The example is purposely simplified, but it is true for all regenerated energy. Flat roads, stop and go, whatever. There is little to no cost...
In thermodynamic fact, you are burning gasoline to push on a piston. Since this is an irreversible process, there is no link to anything that...
While I do not use the EV button at all, the above statement is not correct. Reclaimed energy, while maybe not free, is very, very cheap. Using...
The engine can't charge the battery if it is not running. There is some charging done during the pulse up, but it is minimal. Almost all charging...
I love road trips again.
My garage runs east-west with the doors on the west side.
There is a thermostat in the circuit (not user adjustable), but I find them to be too warm after a few minutes and have to cycle them manually off...
The engine, in surface road driving, rarely charges the battery. It is charged primarily via the regen systems. Contrary to a lot of posts, the...
"It's the physics" is correct, but it is important to understand what the physics is. The energy in the battery has no thermodynamic relationship...
Looking strictly at energy usage, a higher fan speed will use less energy than a lower temp setting.
I am familiar with the "physics" discussions. If the engine was running only to charge the battery, they would be correct. That does happen, but...
Your speed is also a factor- it won't go into EV over 45mph (or so).
Do you have any quantitative data to support this? I have read similar posts on other threads, but have not seen any hard data. Toyota engineering...
The AC is electric and runs off of the HV battery. Put the car in P but leave it in ready mode and the engine will run enough to keep the battery...
Try Wikipedia...
ScanGauge shows throttle position (TPS). When the throttle is closed, the engine is not running. Mine is closed at a TPS 0f 14. There is also a...
Go to the ScanGauge website and look through the tutorials. The gauges need to be put into the scanner and the process is not exactly intuitive.
My experience is that cruise control always lowers mileage. Finding the stealth mode is a moving target and CC does not understand it anyway. That...
You can try a search on the generator threads. Several of them had their cars on for several days during the storms using them with inverters. I...
