Coming down I-77 from I-81 to Lake Norman would get you a good charge. I can't think of anywhere else near you that would do it, but you'll find...
No, that's what the plugout system is. Somebody who found one on Alibaba (or the like) and ordered a run of them built to match the voltage range...
It is the battery. Hybrid/EV are just mathematical reservations of capacity- there's only one high voltage battery hooked up to the wheels. The...
No clue what the market is like down there now, but if it were anything like in the USA? I'd just sell the car and go get another in a year or so.
No. The gadget you found is pretty cool, but it is still an inverter with a 48v DC side and a 120/240v AC side. Your car can do 12v DC easily,...
The prius prime does that, it's a pushbutton feature from the factory. I don't know if the older pluggy prius had this feature. It's a waste of...
Well... once upon a time they were 30k. Now they're less, usually with less profit to be made selling them. It looks like you're figuring it out...
Yeah they're not. They're aimed squarely at a true average distance driver, and essentially everyone commuting to work near silicon valley is...
It's a curve. It all depends on how much is already wrong with the battery. So it could get you an extra 6 months on one that has only started to...
Neither of us have the correct instrumentation on hand to make that call with useful accuracy. It could work for months, and it might not see...
Battery tender can help you squeeze out a little bit more time, but eventually won't help (maybe there already) and you can still get stranded....
We like quietly not-idling in ours when we pick each other up at airports. We've never slept in it though, so our appreciation for the system is...
I really think your 12v battery is dead. I've been wrong before. Life is risk acted out. Enjoy it!
...almost 400 posts in, savings not yet achieved... you'd think posting has no bearing on the cost! We will get there. We are not there yet.
I think periodic starts might maybe help... but the benefit would be slim long shot; a lot depends on how long you stick around running/charging...
That makes it sound as if your 12v battery (the much smaller and less expensive of the two) has had it. Get that battery tested.
@ChapmanF Sorry I've scrambled the details of your EGR studies but hopefully @redv got the jist of it and can make some progress on the problem.
I've followed the topic from a distance. In a nutshell it doesn't seem like the odometer is a very useful tool in deciding when to de-clog an EGR...
Drive moar!
All the ones you can drive in the next ~15 years. It's more about time than distance. Almost every Prius lasts 10 years. Almost none make it to...
