Must admit - your answer is not clear to me... "TPS is saying" - to whom? to the PHT Prius? By your logic: 3kWh equals 14 miles EV, 6kWh equals 28...
Tony, My question is taking the EV range (or at least trying to) beyond 14 miles. Say there is a guy living in a city 1500 ft (or more) above sea...
I was not suggesting that an EV pack is recharged by regeneration affter it is depleted and disconnected from system, so no misconception here but...
Since you plan almost all your driving to be EV, it will be interesting to verify if the sub-packs are regenerated or not. Say you have a chance...
Those 2.4 miles difference indicates to me that the EV battery currently on-line is regenerated in down-hill as well as the HV battery, which is...
Reasons for request not to use extension cord could be: They have no control on the extension cord rating. They have no control on the cable...
Dont warry, replace your 2010 HEV with a new PHV when it is available, you will get 5000 pounds grant from your government I heard!
205/60 would give you not more than 10 mm of eztra clearance (5% of 205 mm).
One of the demonstrators of the PHV reported about 3.6kWh charge at the wall socket. Allowing for 10-15% losses (contacts, cable and chargers...
"In conjunction" but I'd guess they are not directly connected (not in parallel and cetainly not in series). Toyota uses the term "in tandem",...
Had a chance to have a look at the underbody of my 2010 Prius and it is equipped with Exhaust Heat Recovery system!

Thanks for explanation Tom, My question then is: how can I detect if my Prius has exhaust heat recovery system? In my 2007 Prius I had a thermal...
I know that the Prius coming to Israel is the European version (asymetrical headlights etc.). What is "rear fog"? if you mean inbuilt rear...
Checking Owner's Manual (European) for cooling system (Sect. 6.1, page 548) I found that the cooling system capacity depends on whether you have...
I would add to this tip: If you suspect that coolant temp is above 60C (like after several hours stop in a summer day), you can: Wait the 12...
If you have a long down-hill strech, can you check its behavier compared to previous models (e.g. if first EV pack is still connected - can you...
Define efficiency. I believe the 99.8% you are eferring to should be called 'reversibility' i.e. how reversible is the process, in other words -...
Several demonstrators of the PHV reported (surprisingly constant) plug-in charge of 3.6 to 3.66 kWh after complete depletion of EV batteries. Lets...
First, I want to thank the demonstrators for their in-depth reports, I was delighted to read them. I do have some questions though: The battery...
