Separate names with a comma.
I do like how all the info was put together in that small display though. The Arene software platform (available in the Gen 6 RAV4 and probably...
I am not familiar with the Gen 5 display (darn, it is small and cramped!), but no, that cannot be. As discussed here, in the BEV mode (not in the...
You got too excited and accidentally hit the HV or EV-Auto button? I have done that. ;) It could also be a high-battery-temperature issue as the...
One curious behavior is that if you switch to the HEV mode, you cannot switch back to the BEV mode until the engine warns up. This is to protect...
It is not supposed to do that unless you are in the EV-Auto mode. See the notes in the manual. Heavy acceleration starting the engine only applies...
You probably exceeded the maximum BEV-mode speed, which is 84 mph (135 km/h) in both Gen 4 PHEV and Gen 5 PHEV. ■Gasoline engine operation in EV...
The live traffic updates somehow still work even without an active Toyota Connect subscription in my 2021 Prius Prime Limited. If you are looking...
That was the Emerald Jewel! [img]
In my experience with my AGM lead–acid battery, you don’t significantly raise the SOC of the battery even at 13.53 V, which is the voltage of the...
Most of the heat during the winter will come from inside the car (how much sun is out there in the winter, either due to clouds or the low...
Well, black will by far be the worst as far as heat/cold is concerned. They also claim that Gen 5’s large and horizontal windshield doesn’t help....
What color are they (old and new)? It makes a big difference in heat absorption (summer) or loss (winter) whether it is a light or dark color....
As I and others didn’t understand that your car had “of course” an AGM battery and told you you were wrong, but you kept repeating a hundred times...
As far as I know, Prius wheel covers in all generations were made aerodynamic to improve the fuel economy, including on my Gen 4 PHEV. Why would...
You don’t understand/know how the Prius 12-V BMS works. It is controlled by the voltage and current data history, and it is not designed to fully...
No sulfur, yes, but there could be lithium plating and electrolyte, structure and other issues with prolonged low SOC. I agree that an LFP 12-V...
In very cold winter conditions, the Gen 4/Gen 5 Prius turns off the lead–acid BMS and keeps the voltage at 14.1 V or higher; so, it becomes like...
The LFP battery has its own lithium-ion BMS, which is not compatible with the Prius lead–acid BMS that keeps the charging voltage at 12.89 V most...
No, mainly better fuel economy and longer BEV range due to reduced vehicle height and aero wheel covers. If you want to switch to 17", go with...
Ironically, the Trump-voting red states will suffer from this the most. And why kill a good thing (as in Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act that was...
