Separate names with a comma.
Funny thing, the Chevy Impala police version they mention apparently goes 0-60 in just over 9 seconds. The Crown Vic, about the same. Modern...
I think we are still confused :confused: The EV mode button offered in Europe and Japan has nothing to do with plug-ins. There is no plug-in...
Here in AZ we are 9c/kwh peak, 2c off peak for time of use. I believe in CA they will actually install a separate meter for you to charge an EV...
I would like to point out one thing, as there seems to be some confusion. Even a current Prius converted to PHEV with its 34mph EV mode...
Just FYI, the EV mode button has nothing to do with what we are talking about. EV mode uses battery, that later still has to be replaced by the...
Very interesting report, thanks for posting! Rob
Must resist the urge to buy all kinds of spare parts I don't need :eek: Did the car still turn on and go ready, or was it throwing errors? Rob
Daaaamn!!! :hail::hail::hail::hail::hail::hail: Rob
- At the US Average power cost of 9c/kwh, a Prius will run on electric for ~2c/mile, vs. ~9c/mile currently on gas. - On the freeway even a...
When all 8 bars are full, the battery is at ~80% SOC. When all the bars are empty its at ~40% SOC. By default the controller tries to maintain...
You can't kill them, but they will slowly bleed you to death. (Says the former owner of a '79 244 with 250k miles on it). I would think you...
FYI there is a fair amount of discussion already on this topic (including now the car owner) here:...
Yup, '09 from the standard driving cycle data here:...
Yeah, pretty much everything that happens to a Prius ends up on this list somehow :D Welcome, and glad everyone is ok! Must have scared the heck...
I think that is one of the real problems right now. Its pretty sad that the most fuel efficient vehicle on the market is a mid-size. It sets up...
From Auburn VWs myspace page; So, the TDI went 733 miles at 50.5mpg, using ~14.51 gallons of diesel. The Prius was running at 47mpg. Over the...
BTW, I think its pretty common for the hood to be gone in a Prius fire. It and the trunk are aluminum, whereas the rest is steel. There were...
My guess is this is one of the Chinese imports just based on the look of it. From the page below, claim 65-70mph top speed, 4.9 sec 0-60, and...
I would mostly agree. People that are running out and paying thousands over invoice on a car they didn't really need just to save gas money are...
Thats a pretty good article, nice to see the assumptions. Just wish they included how they calculated the 2.3 tons/yr from eating meat. This...
