And if it is not a PLUG IN type model, 100% of the power consumed to run the AC comes from the ICE and gasoline. Well almost 100% anyway.
What would you be willing to give up to get a PiC ? The back seat or the "trunk" ?? :)
Loose connections can make a battery go bad IF it causes the battery to be chronically low on charge. You are probably right about alternators but...
Your perception of the design of a conventional hybrid is not quite right. They are primarily an gasoline powered vehicle with a battery to "help"...
Not if the amp really consumes anywhere near 2000 watts you can't. That would require 166 amps and exceeds the capacity of the ENTIRE 12 volt...
The battery in a Prius goes dead for the same reasons that they do in any other cars. Defective battery. Owner leaves lights on overnight. Loose...
It's a disease I tell you. You have been bitten by the Hybrid Bug. I'm about to trade in my Elantra and it's only 2 years old. The replacement for...

The C likely IS working the way it was designed. Most owners get REALLY good mileage. Some don't and it's overwhelmingly because they drive with a...
The ONLY way to get true MPG fuel usage is to take amount used divided by miles travelled. The Speedo and Odo are different mechanisms or...
I think the "battery gauge" is calibrated differently in the C.........so that it accurately shows the entire capacity and that you are only using...
Not too surprising since regen braking doesn't kick in much or at all until you lightly push the brake pedal.
Why the sigh ? Every vehicle ever made uses less energy when coasting down a slope than when running on flat ground. No way around that. You...
BAD idea. Running less than recommended almost always results in uneven tire wear. I personally would not run above 40 but also not below 35. I...
