Separate names with a comma.
Yeah, that's ironic isn't it. The better your mpg and the more you want to check it, the longer it is before you need to refill. :)
I just bought a 12/3 25 foot cord at Lowes. It's dark blue and is made by UtiliTech. Cost $21.74 +tax. It has a velcro strap attached so you can...
True. And if you're not careful, the ICE will try to recharge the Prius battery faster/before the Enginer kit will get in.

Exactly. I was describing behaviour when I start my commute. I've noted elsewhere that I'm not completely warmed up for 4-5 miles (6-7 lately...
For all intents an purposes, except for the 300 ft jog down to the first stop sign, I AM in normal Prius mode. I just use the EV button to force...
I can try the 8 green bars thingy and take it a little more easy on accel., but I'm not going to pull over at 6 and wait to get 8 green again. I...
When I start my morning commute, I turn EV mode on long enough to back out of the driveway and drive to the first stop sign...about 300 feet...
Morning commute 08/31/09: (see post #46 for distance/mix info) MPG per MFD: 65.2 Road conditions: dry OAT: 50-52 Left balancer readings: High...
I understand what you're saying. I wasn't asking for design limitations...you're going well beyond that yourself. I know the kit won't take me all...
Is that 18A enough to allow for extended EV mode (short distance)? My 2kwh system only stayed in EV mode for about 1 1/4 miles before the main...
Follow-up to post #46. Commute Home information: Distance this trip: 18 miles, roads dry during this and baseline trip. MPG per MFD: 65.2 OAT:...
There was no green OR red LED showing. The unit was DEAD. More importantly, the replacement converter Jack installed DOES seem to be working now.
OK, to be more specific... The original converter that came with the kit never did work. On Tuesday, Jack replaced it with a spare he had. That...
Jack replaced my converter yesterday pm and I'm good to go! Unit is 2kwh kit. For all trips, I use P&G whenever safe/possible. I do not claim to...
In the top left of the pic in post #1 is a 100A circuit breaker next to the charger. I haven't investigated, but a glass fuse is included in the...
No, I'm running a 2kwh kit now. If it does the job for me on my regular commute I'll leave it at that. If I need more range/power I'll upgrade to...
New converter installed and system is running. Hope it runs longer than last time. :thumb: I'll post results later in the MPG Reports thread.
The kit is installed, but not working correctly yet. Jack is putting in a new DC/DC converter this afternoon that should get it running.
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss running with crutches. :mad: Back in my teens when I was a scout, I went to a Jamboree where I saw this kid (in...
