I attended an advanced driving course at Sonoma Raceway and we were taught that a common error for drivers in emergency situations is that they...
I had three punctures in my Prius - none of them were due to bad roads. All were due to various building construction projects that left debris...
Having two modes of operation requires a compromise in the physical compression ratio - it must not be so large that you get detonation when using...
Sort of but the losses are so small so they can be pretty much ignored - the current consumed by the EVSE electronics will be very small - I...
The EVSE will only use a few watts so the great majority or the electrical power from the wall will go to the charger. (>99%), its consumption can...
That doesn't really change things - it was just a different way to achieve the gear reduction. In high-end Lexus versions they do have a two speed...
I You can't get a Touring with a HUD at all. You can only get the HUD in the Three and Four non-touring as an option with the sun-roof. There...
The control laws do tend to result in a low speed of MG1 as that is when the minimum loss occurs in the transaxle although it is a fairly shallow...
This sweet spot has been a fundamental aspect of the split-hybrid approach since power-split device was devised in the 70's. I don't think I...
Not quite true - another way for there to be no power transferred electrically is if MG1 is providing torque to balance the engine but is rotating...

With the Prius and its eCVT keeping a constant road speed does not cause the engine to rotate at a constant speed as it would in a car with fixed...
Do you know how much margin there is in the torque from MG1? One issue with getting more power out of the ICE in a Prius is that MG1 has to...
Although it is possible that it is the battery degradation that is causing the low mpg it is very unlikely. Testing performed by Consumer Reports...
As soon as you press the release button on the plug it will disconnect, until then power will be supplied to the car. The charger in the car will...
The car won't stop when it loses the signal from the fob. it will carry on until you shutdown. However you won't be able to start the car again,...
