Separate names with a comma.
If you are in EV and you do something such as turn on the heat, then the ICE comes on and you are now in a blended mode...or EV Boost as some call...
But the question was about the EPA mileage tests vs CR tests. All that matters is the BTUs in the tank per gallon for a valid comparison. Mike
Ethanol has ~70% the energy content of gasoline. So E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline) has 3% less energy content, not 10% less. 10% less would imply...
OK, but I was talking about EV only mode. Mike
I seriously don't get this. The only way (under normal conditions) that the car can try to lower the SOC is when you press on the pedal. Are you...
Just to clarify what I "think" you meant. In the regular Prius what you say is also my understanding. But the PIP clearly has a slightly different...
Just to correct the record. The Dateline NBC TV news show had nothing at all to do with the Pinto. The Pinto was sold in the 1970s...ended around...
Which is probably conveniently stored, for easy access, in the glove box, in the locked car. Mike
I mostly agree...but consider charging cell phones via USB vs charging with a wireless pad. But overall the only good counter example are where...
Any time you turn on the fan, with or without heat or A/C, the effect on the estimated EV miles is the same...it knocks off about 10%. Turn the...
My first thought in reading this was that there is not a good outcome from this. I'd try swapping cars and see if she can increase your range. Mike
After my 12v battery was replaced 3 weeks ago, all is normal on my car. Went from 13.1 EV miles up to 13.8 (warm weather in CA) over a few...
People frequently make the mistake (IMO) of saying Betamax was better but VHS won out. It is more correct to say that Betamax had better video...
Sales can double several times and still be selling into all the niches. If an EV capable of "going mainstream" was technically available and at a...
I have no idea. Obviously the car is designed to handle this and probably much worse. When I did it the air temp was probably 75-80F. Mike
Pictures? Mike
A continuous dropping road takes 15-20 miles to fill up the battery...depending on how steep it is. For example, Tioga pass to Lee Vining is ~12.5...
My actual estimated miles is still relatively high and about the same as last year at this time -- I'm at 12.9 miles. However, I do notice that...
You don't think that Toyota and the electric companies are run by other 1%ers? Mike
Agreed. And I for one think it is a worthwhile experiment to build the battery operated heater...at least to find out does it work, what does it...
