Separate names with a comma.
I assume you are talking about the size of the gas tank? Large tanks are about two things: 1. Reducing the frequency of going to the gas station...
That's really a bit silly. On rare occasions I forget to plug in my Volt if I get distracted by something as I'm getting out of the car. This is...
Which San Jose dealer did you have trouble with? I had good luck with service at Capitol Chevy in San Jose. My 2011 Volt has been good except for...
With its EV range and overnight recharging, GM is saying that typical Volt customers will be going to the gas station an average of about once...
I doubt that. I'm guessing with "only" 68 kW that the Prime will be accelerating relatively sedately as it approaches 90 mph and it's top...
Right. I get about 1/3 more EV range than the 35 mile EPA estimate of my 2011 Volt. The same would be true of a 2016 Volt's 53 mile EPA range. If...
You are forgetting that the EPA 11 mile range is a blended number that includes 0.022 gallons of gasoline (about a mile worth). The Japanese test...
Having the one-way clutch allows them to combine the motor power and inverters for MG1 and MG2 together rather than having to have an oversized...
We do. The specs are listed as being the same as the regular gen 4 -- 53 kW and 163 Nm. Google Translate The overall maximum system output is...
Yes, I saw that earlier. It's interesting and some of it sounds credible like the strengthening of some internal transaxle components. Other parts...
Thought of the Day: I would have been ridiculed if I had predicted last week that the new Prius Prime would: 1. Be an EREV 2. Use a clutch 3....
Apparently, my assumptions were faulty. Prius Prime is an EREV! At least according to Tideland Prius and Toyota spokesperson Nathan Kokes quoted...
I'm sure if you "floor it" in its default driving mode that the Prime's ICE will blend in. The 68 kW of battery output is the same as the max EV...
The first gen Prius Plug-in's 95 MPGe is dragged downward by the 0.022 gallons of gasoline that EPA recorded as being blended in during the EPA EV...
Okay. I think you mean MG2 (the bigger motor).
What did you find out about any new changes in the transaxle vs the regular gen 4? We know there is a new one-way clutch. Where is it physically...
I would still consider fan-driven air cooling to be "active cooling" as opposed to something like the Nissan LEAF which was completely passive...
It's been done before... by Nissan with the LEAF. I would be surprised if Toyota didn't have actively controlled forced air cooling.
I assume you are referring to people (Volt fans or not) that made up their own personal EREV definition in order to require series-only hybrid gas...
According to the spec page at the Toyota Global website, the Prius Prime has the same motor specs as the regular gen 4 Prius. I assume for now...
