I think this has to go to the Prius Chat rules committee. They are the only ones that can rule on a dispensation of this magnitude. :) Mike
Perhaps. The "rule" is real simple. If it is a public place and there are official EV charging stations then you may charge for free and/or with...
No, this is generally not true. I don't know where the high rates are that hill mentions. In Northern CA (served by PG&E) here are some typical...
Last summer I did the (almost) 100 miles in EV run on Tioga pass in Yosemite. My EV estimate only went up by a mile or two on my next charge. So...
It doesn't matter. He resets, he sees 13.9 and he is happy. (Humor him...we all know reseting just changes the estimate and not the actual miles...
I think that free stations should only be free for 1 hr, maybe 2 Mike
What is the percent of passenger/cargo payload in the RC plane? Approximately zero, right? Mike
That's the physics way of computing it...but it is better to just measure the actual. The fact is that the best I've been able to do over several...
Some pretty realistic numbers: You go just 10 miles on a charge, and it takes 3 kwh to charge (measured from the wall...with 2.7 kwh actually...
No. But if you use 200 wh/m at 30 mph, it might be 250-300 at 60 mph. I'm sure there are some charts somewhere that show some measurements, I've...
The math is quite easy...(111,000 BTU per gallon) / (60 miles per gallon) = 1850 BTU per mile...as compared to whatever number you have for BTUs...
Agreed. A gallon of gasoline has about 114K BTUs. It isn't an absolute fixed amount. Winter blends have a bit less...about 112K BTUs. And when...
To completely answer this question...it will be a small number. Not ZERO. Of course you can trick it a bit by driving up a hill in HV, switching...
I don't agree. It doesn't even pass a very simple thermodynamic test. When you drive a Prius using gas there is a large amount of waste...
Of course the guy shouldn't have been charging his car without permission. But I wonder if the cop would have had him arrested if he was just...
With the ChargePoint stations I've seen that have the 110v outlet behind the door...what you say is true. You cannot remove the male end of the...
Certainly if you are paying anywhere close to the national average of 10-12 cents per kwh, then electricity is cheaper than gas. But when you pay...
I'm not saying it is true in this case...but you never know if the BEV that is charging is just 10 miles from home and they are just topping off...
Yes! And not importing any oil would help in multiple, obvious ways. Mike
Of course not. But a good analysis starts with holding one or more variables constant to show what happens when you change another variable. In...
