Separate names with a comma.
Yeah, I haven’t noticed much range difference either across the various EV economy/power modes, although I’ve mostly driven ECO anyway. I...
I personally agree that there are other, equally-good reasons, not related to finances, to drive on electric, such as reduced pollution and noise,...
FWIW, I personally am not all that disappointed that the power curves mismatch a bit. However, I do have a little — not much but a little —...
Yeah, our US Prius “Prime” works the same. It feels pretty sluggish upon switching over to HV from EV, at least in the Eco setting. Not...
In short, grid-tying a system doesn’t necessarily imply that it uses net-metering, nor any other particular billing system.
There might be “room” for more modes to extend battery charge, such as one to reduce battery expenditure even if not at ideal MPG when the ICE is...
My information may be specific to Austin, and is second-hand. However, it’s probably fair to say that net-metering, and grid-tying, a system are...
Again, I don’t think I’ve ever used EV Auto, so clearly I’m not an expert on it. However, I get the impression that what you’re describing here...
I suspect that’s why it gets slightly higher MPG in HV mode: It can postpone firing up the engine longer, until it’s confident that it can drive...
Or, perhaps even better, define EV Auto as, “run the ICE when, and only when, it can operate at very close to its peak efficiency.” So, in short,...
So, when you’re in EV mode, it will use its heat pump to warm the cabin, which is indeed strictly electrically-powered. However, if anything...
I know that the P.Prime does run the cooling water past “the cat” (at least on the 2017 model). Of course the reason for this is not to cool the...
38-some-odd miles? Wow, that’s excellent! I have never seen that high a number on the Guesstimatron, not even when our Prius Prime was brand...
Much more appropriate, I think! (Edit) Granted, though, such numbers are a little ... artificial ... since they don’t take charging into...
Interesting: Last I checked — admittedly a while back —our (2017) P.Prime’s mileage numbers “peg” at 199.99. Maybe they changed that recently...?
Ah. I *think* that’s the way EV Auto is expected to work: Again, as far as I can recall, I’ve never used EV Auto, but I gather it’s roughly...
I guess we all independently found out about Oregon in that regard!
I think Oregon does too.
Really? EV mode? We’re talking Prius Prime here, not PiP, right?
So, just to make sure there’s no confusion: there is no “EV/HV” mode. The EV/HV button toggles between EV and HV modes. There are three modes...
