Indeed. That's another factor worth mentioning. The Taylors did not have to contend with snow and low temps and as we all know high FE hybrids...
A sustainable and steady top speed? 40-55MPH in ideal situations provided that the SoC is high enough otherwise its no better than a glide...
This statement is incorrect if not outdated. The Insight II will also be able to cruise on electric power only just as well as the current Civic...
Good question. A higher authority than myself suggested/recommended that name, sorry. However, the mode was originally documented as "HSAM"...
