Separate names with a comma.
It's posted on Toyota's website: The 3rd Generation Toyota Prius Hybrid The all-new 2012 Toyota Prius c The Prius gets 48 MPG highway, while the...
I don't see how it could possibly be true that "Toyota has not posted the official MSRP for you Prius Plug-in.", since the MSRP is on Toyota's...
The Gen 2's had them in the US, but might not have had them in other countries. They got rid of it for the Gen 3's, which have exhaust heat...
Sure that would make the Volt Wh/mi ~24% larger. I also was overly conservative about the Prius Plug-In by using 100% of the 4.4 kWh battery,...
Very interesting, I learned something new. I still think a manual transmission is a better analogy. More people probably associate a clutch as...
Costco when they have a $10 off 6/1 qt. coupon. I think it ends up being ~$27 for the box / $4.50 per quart. The coupon is in this February's...
If the electric motor is undersized, I suspect it isn't b/c of Japanese driving, but rather it is sized for the Prius Liftback. Do you mean...
I meant that Toyota is conservative with their estimates compared to the eventual EPA estimate. I'll grant you that I gave a bad example with the...
Toyota has been conservative about their estimates in the past and have met or exceeded them. For example, for the prototype, they were...
I hope you are right, but I think that's wishful thinking. The problem with that idea from a car manufacturer's viewpoint is that devalues the...
I agree that the 16 kWh limit is arbitrary and distorts the price signal with a discontinuity at 16 kWh. But the battery capacity of an...
Fixed in my earlier post. I knew that, but missed it at a glance. The Prius Plug-In ebrochure on Toyota USA's website says it is 4.4 kWh....
Actually, I have sort of the opposite opinion. Batteries are currently expensive, so there is a clear trade off between price and capacity that...
I've been determing EV efficiency of both the Volt and Prius Plug-In by the dividing usable battery capacity by EV miles. For the Volt, this...
I had thoughts along these lines when looking at the Volt and Prius Plug-In as well. $32,500 for 35 miles of EV vs $29,500 for 15 miles of EV....
When I first got the Prius, I saw my battery drain low very when going through a car wash too. At first, I tried forcing the battery to charge up...
I don't think that's entirely true. The internal resistance of both the electric motor and battery increase with heat, so letting them cool would...
My quote is still relevant. If you've driven your car for 30 minutes, your battery is fully charged regardless of whether you have the touchscreen.
From the instructions I previously linked:
I've left it on overnight, but not for multiple days. If you are concerned and try this procedure to check your battery: Toyota Prius 12 Volt...
