Separate names with a comma.
I'm not sure if I would trust them. They say they could handle 15 cars at once. Yet the picture clearly shows 24 spaces! But getting serious. I...
Just to be clear...you are saying 58 miles per hour and not 58 kilometers per hour? (Since I assume your display reads in metric) Mike
Funny, my PIP doesn't look like that one. Mike
I too had my 12v battery in my PIP go dead while away for 7 days. Four Prius's in 13 years and it was teh first time. The only thing I can think...
I'm not questioning the math of the number of batteries, etc. It is the idea that you are going to get anywhere near 70% of the retail price of a...
What is not to like? The reduced life caused by the extra cycles put on the battery. A mobile battery needs to be small, light and crash worthy. A...
I think that this is very much wishful thinking. The attributes that make a good battery for a mobile application aren't really the same as the...
The Tesla example really only tells you that relatively rich people don't mind spending for the bigger batteries...or rich people don't want to...
Call back and tell them you now have an EV and will charge it in the afternoon unless there is a rate plan that encourages shifting to night...

I wouldn't give "them" any ideas. Mike
I don't believe there is any such setpoint...If you suddenly find yourself going down a big hill you'll add a lot of EV miles and HV mode won't...
In my 2001, 2004, and 2010 I've gotten 46 - 55 mpg. In my PIP I'm getting well over 100 MPGe. EV drive is more efficient. Mike

In Roseville, maybe "you" drive those hills a lot more than the typical person...but I doubt most Prius owners do. I've driven over those routes...
You said: Forgive my honest opinion, 5-10mile daily commute. That is my daily commute. You didn't say that those would be someone's "only"...
Really? It depends on what you are comparing it to. (I've had only Prius' for the last 12 years). PIP makes perfect sense for me...free charging...
Not really. Before the PIP you could capture quite a lot of energy in the regular Prius battery. You can drop 2000+ ft, such as on the I-5...
