Hi Troy, Aren't you just trying to make trouble? No one here rammed into your car. Is was someone else. You shouldn't assume that because a person...
I agree. But it also doesn't make much sense (with today's battery pricing) to be carrying around 5x as much battery (in weight, cost, space, MPGe...
I would try switching to HV about 30 sec before hitting the 270deg clover leaf. But it depends on if you have to sit at a stop light just before...
32 yrs since my last accident...and 35 years since my first. > 450K miles in total, probably. Mike
Feel free to use the heater as much as you want. As long as you are driving more than a couple of miles it will not cause you to use any more gas...
I've done several Toyota online and paper surveys. Toyota sells so many they probably only do a statistical sampling. Mike
It is 1.4 watts for the EVSE in standby mode. If you charge for 3 hours then leave the EVSE plugged in the other 21 hours of the day (instead of...
I think the point is that the PIP is not programmed to intnetionally try to get the EV range back to where it was when you switch into HV....

I agree it is a gimmick. First it would be 1.5 kw not kwh. Second you can't get that large of a panel on a truck...the sun only puts out 1 kw per...
ChargePoint...240 volt. Last week: 110 miles, no gas. Most weeks it seems I have to drive one or two places that exceed my EV range, but not...
2010 went to SO, SO's 2004 went to child. Yes. I'm 80% EV and 55+ mpg on gas. Free charging at work and a 6 mile (one way) commute. No...she...
I drove a #@?$! at a market research event a few months ago that had this feature. It was a great feature. Mike
Certainly unwanted ICE startups can reduce your mpg. But the fact is that when you plug in you are getting extra energy from teh battery compared...
