Separate names with a comma.
It is a moot issue because EFBs don’t come in the EN LN1/DIN H4/BCI 140R group size (at least in the US). That is because they are for start–stop...
Ha ha, I am not impressed with the engineering of the 12-V charging system either. In the last three days, the 12-V battery virtually never...
There should be a way to access it digitally through a scanner, I guess. You can shunt an ammeter on the positive terminal and a millivoltmeter...
Of course, the shunt resistor is in plain sight. You can see its top lead in the photo below, which is of shiny copper, and its bottom lead is...
The Gen 5 new-car features manual clearly details that the 12-V battery health takes a backseat to fuel efficiency, and it's typically not fully...
Outside of the filler hole? I wouldn't do it though because I don't want to get any chemical on my finger.
The Noco Genius takes almost 48 hours to fully charge the battery (the green LED solid and not slowly flashing). I also charged my old OEM GS...
Ah, yes, I see it, good technique! I didn't think of shunting the ammeter across the battery post and connector before you disconnected the...
A ~ 40-mA continuous drain in the sleep state sounds about right. If the car is plugged in, it will be much higher. There is also a much higher...
No, it does not. With the car plugged in, the 12-V battery is on a float voltage (~ 13.0 V) when the HV battery is charging or the heater is...
No, it does not. The plug monitoring is a continuous operation for safety reasons. The 12-V-battery drain is continuous as long as the HV battery...
Sure, full self-driving would make me happy, too, but not at $8,000 + tax. As I said, it is more expensive to fuel a Model 3 than a Gen 4 Prius...
It's still nowhere as good as the ~ 6 mi/kWh on my Gen 4 Prius Prime, but you can't match the rolling resistantance and drivetrain efficiency of...
You get 5 mi/kWh? That's 169 mpge.
No, they’ve corrected the acronym—not PHV as it was in Japan etc. but PHEV now. It will officially be spelled out as Prius Plug-in Hybrid (with...
Why not on your Subaru Outback?
I wonder if we will see clear BEV, FCEV, HEV, and PHEV emblems on all four types of Toyota EVs now. That would be great. I know @Mendel Leisk...
I have actual data on this for a Gen 4 Prius Prime, and the plug-in 12-V drain is continuous and significant. It probably shouldn't be a concern...
Not just Europeans but also Native Americans, who crossed the empty Bering Strait during the Ice Age. Yes, humans are the greatest and most...
Wayne says he uses 55–60 psi in his tires. At low speeds, the rolling resistance is the dominating force; so, that would help a lot to get a...
