Separate names with a comma.
The tooth counts for the power-split planetary and the motor-reduction-gear planetary are different but the Sun-to-ring ratio works out almost...
This is a confused thread. I'm hoping I don't confuse it further... :) MG1 is the smaller motor directly connected to the Sun gear on the...
Here are the gen 4 battery specs: Gen 4 Staff Manual (In Japanese) =/ Specs/Design/Other Info
I thought people had already figured out that the Lithium pack is only about 750 Wh compared to 1,300 Wh for the NiMH pack. I haven't personally...
That's an excellent classic thread although aspects of it (old MG1 rpm limits, no MG2 reduction gearing) are necessarily a little out of date...
No one knows for sure, but it seems likely that even if the PiP battery degrades by 30% over 15 years you would still be able to drive it 7-9...
I would expect to see close to this during brisk acceleration but also while climbing mountain roads and for some people that's part of their...
I completely agree with that, although power-splitting with the gas engine running needs around 60 kW in some conditions which is largely why they...
This is largely irrelevant to someone buying a Volt today for $34,000. Few of the earliest adopters bought cars thinking they would really save...
The question is how much of that flexibility will be supplied by PHVs and HVs versus FCVs. PHVs with a 40-60 mile EV range (with a high Utility...
Right. The transaxle fluid helps cool the motor winding.
That's uncertain. Hydro methane emissions and the overall lifecycle of "CO2 equivalent" emissions from hydro is not clear and has not been...
Here's a good technical background write up. http://www.wardleonard.com/filephotos/1/Technical-Note---Random-Wound-.pdf Bottom line is that form...
I noticed that the new MG2 has adopted the use of rectangular wire "bar windings" very similar to the style used in the first and second...
From just looking at that graph, one might infer that Toyota thinks the non-plug hybrid market will grow much faster than the plugin hybrid market...
Toyota's plan is not quite as extreme as some news articles imply. Here's a graph: [ATTACH] They show a large role for plugin hybrids and also...
Yes, I agree. The slide deck looks aggressive but plausible with much of the FCV emphasis on buses and trucks. This is actually very consistent...
You certainly could do that but I was assuming in both the SC and gas scenarios that you wanted a reasonably full charge or tank once you got...
I believe the recommended strategy is to arrive at a SuperCharging station and then charge until you are about 80% full. For example, this video...
LG Chem has a battery cell factory in Michigan that supplies GM and also Ford for the Focus EV.
