Just a quick note to ensure that everyone knows that the Prius is a serial AND parallel hybrid. In fact, it uses a constantly variable mix of the...
As a full year has gone by, can you confirm that the numbers used in the table are still valid; do you feel any adjustments should be made?...
Good points. Also, while driving at highway speeds, it is better to use A/C rather than rolling down the windows, as this would break the air...

Re: What is B mode for? Another try to summarize: B-mode uses the engine to disperse energy (revving the engine RPM), slowing the car down,...
There are at least 20 existing threads/answers to this question (search tool is your friend). Most will point to the excellent hobbit's article here.

If you want to modify the HSD, you are probably better to start by hiring a software engineer (and a good one, to reverse engineer the different...
And where would your 100 hp of electric power come from? At least 20 hp would need to come from a battery (100-80 hp from the ICE). Would you...
The only thing in a HSD that is continuously variable is the engine RPM. The main motor (MG2) doesn't have any kind of "transmission" and is...
Not to bring bad news, but you may have to replace some components of the vapor filtering system (if overfilling did occur, considering that there...
Just a precision: the Atkinson cycle in the Prius has a 13:1 expansion ratio, not compression ratio. The ratio is changed by reducing the...
By "park", you mean to properly align the crankshaft to allow a seamless restart? My question would then be: why do you need to run the ICE to...
I confirm that by either maintaining the car into a glide (HSI in "neutral") or by leaving the foot off the pedals, this phenomenon does happen,...
Would it be the same observation I made here? In my case, I noticed that the ICE comes in just around 68-69 km/h (42 mph) and turns back off...
Calculated (real instead of displayed) lifetime average of 5.06 L/100km, or 47 MPG, from last July to date. This is in Montréal, Québec. Annual...
