Separate names with a comma.
Agreed. The original Prius did not have GPS, did not even have cruise control...it was very basic. But, IIRC it only cost $19,900. There was no...
I agree with most of what you are saying But... When you say "useless, except" there are really lots and lots of exceptions. Probably 50%+...
You could ask the same question about the raw materials needed to make a hydrogen fuel cell. And fuel cell cars will need a battery as...
I don't get why this should matter. The drain plug is at the bottom of the oil pan. (yes a light film of the old oil still remains, but this...
It should be noted that he had the PIP engine running most of the way down BECAUSE he arrived at the top with a ~3/4 full battery. If he had used...
Yes. That is what I would have thought...and have observed on mild regen compared to wall charging. What was different this time was that the...
I think that my EV driving is about 3x-4x cheaper than gas driving in my 2010 Prius. But even if the cost was the same...I'd rather spend my...
In another thread I discussed my attempt to see how far I could go in EV mode on a long downhill road. Can you drive 100+ miles in EV (no...
You are so right. I think that this must be the first time in the history of commercials where the ad isn't 100% literally true. Quick, someone...
First off, I was driving on this route while on a vacation, not just to see what type of mileage I could get. I just happened to notice the large...
The idea of this experiment was to see how far you could continuously drive in EV mode, with no wall recharging. Mike
Just to clarify a bit. If you built a 100 mile long ramp, perfectly flat, but sloping down, any hybrid or EV could coast down this with no gas...
Of course, physics says you can. Just park at the top of a hill and coast on down. But geology and road builders don't provide us with such a nice...
Why not try borrowing another Prius or asking the dealer to loan you one so you can see if it just yours. Mike
It is silly to think that there should be a single standard. If there was then NOBOBY would be able to charge at home since 120v charging would...
The chargepoint rfid card is about 1/6th the size of a credit card so you won't lose quite that much :) Mike
You are dreaming...unless you disabled the 124 mile mandatory ICE operation. Mike
10 year, 150k mile warranty. Even if the EV miles degrade, eventually to just a few miles, the car is still better than a regular prius. Mike
Yes, but I'm getting almost 200 mpg. Some weeks I'm well over 300 mpg. It all depends on your EV ratio. So, yes it is great, but you need to add...
The world is full of people making the same penny-wise pound foolish calculation. We all know it isn't worth it to have a high efficiency A/C, a...
