He's not only a Republican but he also has a grudge against GM. From the CSMonitor.com article linked in the TTAC article: "For Mike Kelly,...
I have no idea. I've never seen EPA fuel economy results broken down to that level of detail. I don't know whether they are available online anywhere.
My point was that the U.S. Toyota press release "15 miles" number isn't very useful since it says nothing about how they got it except they kept...
The U.S. press release doesn't identify which test cycle the 15 mile electric range estimate is based on. They certainly don't claim that number...
Yes, I just noticed that also. :-) Seems odd offhand, but maybe there is a reason. In any case, it probably still shows the relative power demand...
I see about 33% under 20 kW and 49% under 30 kW which implies greater than 50% requiring ICE. Once the gas engine starts up it may take a few...
I don't know what Toyota's production Prius Plug-in "battery versus gas" blending strategy will be but I suspect that many owners will have their...
I didn't think to check here first for an organized list of folks going to the expo. I wasn't sure I was going until I realized the new production...
I don't know. Toyota states that the number is calculated based on the European test cycle but they don't give any details about how they applied...
The key issue related to power is the so-called 'C' rate at which the battery is discharged. Volt drivers are rarely going to be drawing the full...
True. The Volt emissions for NMOG, and Nox still meet the SULEV emissions targets. The Prius just far exceeds the requirements. Most Volt owners...
The AT-PZEV emissions achievement is dependent on a functioning catalytic converter. Any gas engine placed under load with a cold cat converter is...
Huh? Toyota is using the same European cycle test estimates that generate those high electric range estimates for the Volt and Leaf..... That...
Another question that I forgot to ask about when I was at the Green Car Expo in Richmond recently is whether the production Plug-in will be...
Supposedly, the additional retained buffer has been sized to allow full power driving up the most severe mountain passes. Even on long mountain...
Yes, Toyota's 15 mile electric range claim for the U.S. Plug-in Prius is vague. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a Toyota brochure or web page...
In my experience, the large majority of the time that my Volt is running in CS mode on gasoline is on highway-dominated segments. Only a small...
This document appears to be a brochure given to members of the media to help them cover Toyota's new vehicle announcements at the 2011 Frankfurt...
Yes, I was just attempting a joke. :-)
Here's something to consider about battery longevity. The smaller battery of the Prius Plug-in will be more likely to lead folks to recharge it...
