I replaced all of my lights with LEDs in my 2008 with smart key system. When I walk next to the car, the amber front side markers and the red tail...
I wonder if it would be possible to modify a 2nd or 3rd gen Prius to accept the new 4th gen NiMh or Li-Ion batteries without too much work. I...
I've already cleaned out the fan, and I manually control its speed on warmer days to keep the temps below 100 degrees using my ScanGauge. (y) It...
120-130F is the best temp for NiMH? My car seems to start ignoring the battery when it hits 120F (Won't charge fast or discharge fast)
Using a ScanGauge with Battery Current X Gauge, RPM, and GPH(Gallons per hour), I have found that when at 45~MPH, on level ground, holding that...
As bisco said, it shortens warmup time.
Getting and using the engine block heater (even in summer) will help with that. Another thing to note is that during the initial warmup cycle, the...

Thanks for all the info, and seriously considering getting a HA Grid charger. Two... Maybe three questions! First is for S Keith... To force...
Sounds like a total nightmare. I'll just wait another 8 years until I can afford a Plug in Prius or something.
Seems strange. I bet there are a lot of people out there like me who can't afford a $35k PIP, and want to add a few KW to their existing older Prius.
Well, that leaves Plug In Supply, cheapest option at $6500. For that I could buy a second Prius!
Isn't the Enginer 2kw kit $2000, and the 4kw $3500? Or are they gone? Their website is still around...
I would love to hear the reasons why not. The cost/benefit I am aware is not there right now, especially with gas prices below $2.00 where I live....
I, too, am interested in this. I'm not wealthy by any means, but managed to acquire a 2008 Touring for $5000, in good condition. I could never...
