Could you expand on that a little more? I'm a Hymotion owner, had to return my first pack because it would not recharge properly (terminated...
The Hymotion figure is "mixed driving", meaning, 30 miles before the pack is dead. The 30 miles is some "average" mix of electrical and gas...
Dave, Thank you for this post and posting you referenced at the start of the thread. We have the Hymotion pack installed. Following your lead,...
If that's the same bill as last year, then the text you quoted is an incorrect summary. The bill didn't require DOT to study it, it required DOT...
Any word from NHTSA on when they expect to complete their study of hybrid involvement in pedestrian injuries, using all reportable crashes? My...
Let me expand on my comment about Ford's president raising the issue of using tax policy to set a minimum price for gasoline. You don't have to...
While the article is larded with anti-hybrid baloney, the main point about consumer demand seemed about right to me. Cars are assets that...
I can't speak to a Colorado climate, but in the South, you would never close the vents. Moisture buildup can rot the floor joists over time....

Same reason the Prius NiMH batteries last the life of the car: the drivers rarely discharge the battery fully. If they did that daily (100...
First new car I ever bought was a Ford. Car was great, dealer was indescribably awful. I spent exactly $0 at the dealer after buying the car,...
Clett, I love your posts, but say hello to the next Great Depression. Metals prices are back to where they were five years ago. And I'd say it's...
I think NiMH is ill-suited for PHEV. If you drain it completely, you get too short a lifetime, maybe 1000 cycles or so (3 years' use). And...
+1 Also, the agreement is for "up to" 250MW continuous power. Look at the data on Estacado, the purchaser. It's a subsidiary of Roosevelt...
If the walking is fueled by the typical US diet, then it's probably not more carbon-efficient than driving a Prius. The fossil fuels used to...

It's not like the Prius is the only battery pack on the market. The Prius battery holds roughly 1.5 KWH. Price some other large NIHM packs and...
