Separate names with a comma.
I get 4.2 (currently, in cold weather, with snow tires) to 4.5, according to the car's admittedly imperfect instrumentation. While 3.x isn't...
D cells would be a better bet.
Assuming this is correct, it's a terrible decision by Toyota, based on price alone. There is no reason at all to have a starting battery in this...
The Prius battery is probably also a different *type* from a typical car battery. It should be "deep cycle" as opposed to "starting" type. This...
I'm more interested in carbon footprint than in fuel cost. The hydroelectric plant that produces our power is less than a mile from us, and we...
I use clear packing tape to hold the foam in place, but it's hardly invisible.
Back in the day I used to put cardboard behind the grilles of my old cars, right in front of the radiator. Is this possible with the PIP? I have...
Over in the Leaf forum we've discussed making placards that say 'You can take the EVSE/charge cord after X hours' or with a changeable clock hand...
This thread illustrates that even the "enlightened" are still primates, with all of the nasty little primate behaviors waiting to be unleashed. I...
But with a GEM you don't have to worry about the engine starting. ;-)
I think that having an EV (a Leaf in my case) and a PIP is the best overall arrangement. I drive my Leaf for all trips I can easily take...
You mean aside from me, who you just quoted saying that...? I've seen small 600 watt oil-filled electric radiators. That would be the...
It depends on which heater is being used. The pre-2013 Leafs have just an electrical resistance heater, and that really sucks juice. The 2013 SV...
Eventually someone is going to find a way to run a *safe* (like ceramic) 120 volt heater inside the cabin, to pre-heat it. That should also help...
I don't drive the car a lot, but I seem to recall that when you are in HV mode you get an HV charge level...
$500 shipped is reasonable if someone is looking to replace a lost or damaged OEM unit for a leased car. People looking for the most charge per...
Thanks. Does the car use a similar algorithm when it calculates MPG?
How does that work?
My housemate starts the engine at the beginning of her ~22 mile commute. She then does one of two things with EV mode: either she starts using it...
