Separate names with a comma.
I would believe 20% if charging from 120V, but 15% should more realistic if using 240V charging. Personally, I would not consider the PiP without...
Biggest reason the Volt will be less efficient (regardless of your oversight) is more mass (3781 lb curb weight for the Volt vs 3165 lb curb...
See my calcs here: http://priuschat.com/forums/toyota-prius-plug-in/showpost.php?p=1471517&postcount=46 There's no way the PiP is getting 273...
Those 2 sentences directly contradict each other (never mind that you really mean 34 kWh / 100 mi, not 360 kWh). Where are you getting 3 kWh to...
Looks like you just about nailed it with your estimation 2 weeks ago, drinnovation.
How are you calculating that? The LEAF is rated at 99 MPGe on the combined cycle - the Prius PiP is rated at 95 MPGe so should consume about 4%...
I don't quite follow your logic here. Where does $3,150 come from? How do you get 112.9M gallonsof gas? Any why are you comparing some mythical...
Isn't a tax credit a relief on the tax payer that gets to claim it!?!? Less taxes = good. Tax credits = bad. I'm confused.
Good comparison. Compares to the HS250h the Volt is more efficient even in CS mode. And without the PSD the driving experience be more refined....
The only thing I don't like about the Fuel-Max tires on my Prius is that they seem to be fairly noisy now that they've got some miles on them....
From that article, the vast majority of lead acid batteries are still recycled here in the US (80%), though the perentage has been going down. I...
To be fair, 22,000 miles at about 75 miles / charge is worst case about full 300 cycles - if you assume the LEAFs batteries are similar to the LG...
As Dave alludes to DoD and number of cycles is only part of the picture. Calendar life (the older a lithium cell gets the more it degrades) and...
Their summary was different. Either way, the lack of detail in the report doesn't give us enough information to determine the actual depth of...
Does seem pretty high - but the Model S standard wheels are pretty big - a lot bigger than the wheels in your reference which probably generate a...
Definitely call up Luscious Garage - they can fix anything that breaks on a Prius and likely have the parts on hand needed to fix your inverter...
Those are not the stock wheels/tires, those are aftermarket. Stock Tesla Roadster wheels/tires are 175/55-16 front / 225/45-17 rear. As F8L...
Those are typically considered "drivetrain" losses, not rolling resistance. If you look at the Tesla blog post I linked to above, you can see...
danboy said he has the touring model which came with a slightly longer spoiler from the factory. Very few people notice the difference.
Rolling resistance's total effect on fuel economy is highly dependent on vehicle speed - at lower speeds it makes up a larger percentage of total...
