The Hybrid System Indicator lies to you... Long before the battery fills up, the car will start to reduce the charge current (or power) limit....
Yes, you can shift on the fly. It doesn't actually shift anything mechanical. It will slow you down a little, but sometimes it's a little too...
All modern cars cut off fuel to the engine while engine braking. So it's just spinning, wasting energy as friction. It's like pulling the cord on...
There is a limit to how fast and how long the battery can charge. The limit is lower as the battery gets more full. For example cruising down a 6%...
I live near Denver, and I drive my Prime all over Colorado. I also have a 4runner, but since buying the Prime I'd rather drive that everywhere...

While we're piling hate on eBay, they've started doing a thing where the title on a Google search result will say one thing, but when you click on...
Or, if they aren't counterfeit they are probably all the ones that failed QC at the factory.
If you use the frame or the second negative terminal slightly farther back from the battery (shown in Krzysiek_KTA's recent photos), the car can...
Problem is they charge around $5 each.
Maybe calling it the same efficiency is an oversimplification, but it's the same order of magnitude. There's always an exception. 85 miles a day...
Or you can buy them from an electronics distributor. You have to pay shipping, but you're guaranteed not to get a counterfeit product....
On a related note, since all EVs have similar efficiency, 120V charging is probably good enough for most people who drive a typical amount per...
I really should get one of these for my bike.
