The Plug-in Prius uses Lithium-ion. No fiasco yet.
They already have a limited set of gauge measurements that can be made with their "Garmin ecoRoute HD Vehicle Diagnostics Communicator HD" using...
The Garmin power cable is a reasonably small size. What you see in the picture is the only exposed part. It runs from the 12v socket, under the...
Pardon the non-PC expression but we used to call that "Mexican Overdrive".
And it mounts very nicely in that little window to the left of the dashboard. [IMG]
Yes, the specs I quoted are on page 618 of the 2012 manual and the specs you quote are on page 618 of the 2013 PHV manual. I must say the Half...
Yes, I confirm that's what it does. Now the question is... Why and what is the net result? Folks with a lot of dark-time driving should have more...
Here are the voltages to expect based on battery charge. This is information from the Prius manual. 12-volt battery Open voltage at 68 °F (20 °C):...
The typical charging voltage for a Lead-acid battery is 14.4 volts. Your battery is being charged in the normal range.
Thanks for the definition of BEG. I like BEG for most driving when EV is definitely not enough for the entire trip, applied such that all EV...
12 miles on EV means 18 miles on gas. 18 miles at 50 mpg (approx for HV) uses 0.36 gallons. Your 30 miles using 0.36 gallons means 30/0.36 = 83.3...
Its a car with a built-in game :) Although I'll admit I'm doing somewhat more "just drive it" than I did when I first owned a Prius.
Heater temp set at 74 not auto, just fans on. Outside temp mid 30s.
Not for me. Left in the EV mode it always restarts the ICE at 118 or slightly less. Until I tried the stacking trick I had sat for fairly long...
Not very useful but interesting. I had been running on EV then parked in the cold to wait for the wife. Turning on the heater started the ICE (of...
Looks like long trips for a day. Note the lower mpg and very low EV.
My Moto X is a Republic Wireless version running Android 4.2.2 I suspect the Moto X from other providers will work too but you never know :) I did...
Interesting. So if the battery is low and the ICE is on to provide charge and going up hill the ICE may aid in propulsion? Are there any mpg...
I'm not sure how the mileage would change with warming up before the trip vs warming up during the trip. However "The ICE will warm just as fast...
Isn't the Volt actually an electric car with a built-in generator, not a hybrid?
