Separate names with a comma.
Makes sense for emergency use, but my big issue with using car batteries generally for VTG is this: if arbitrage with batteries is such a great...
In a high-speed glide the ICE is only spinning. I don't live on level ground. In fact I don't know if we even have any. Also, remember that...
Honda's putting wind at their plant in MN and they aren't using extra land to do it. Another picture shows that VW doesn't have panels on their...
Except in winter. Or at speed. Charge it during the day and you add to peak and shoulder load, adding to infrastructure energy and costs,...
Unfortunately, however, the graph only shows fuel energy conversion costs. It doesn't include additional energy costs of the vehicle propulsion...
I'll agree with you if you show me a picture of its rear seats and trunk.
Canada's seen the same thing. Small car for raw efficiency and wagon for cargo-carriers having more appeal. The Prius liftback isn't perceived...
No you don't. You wrote that it's to maximize efficiency. Go and ask some politicians about their support for plug-ins. Ask them how much...

Uh, again you miss the point of an EREV. It's so that you can use a single vehicle to cover most driving on EV. Owning additional vehicles is...
Nope. You're missing the point. The PiP blends more. The PiP runs the engine purely heat. The idea that an engine designed for a hybrid is the...
There's no real change. It's just that when you were an employee you didn't think about it. Your employer did. The country's tax rate has...
The plug-in Prius doesn't maximize efficiency. It has a 1.8 liter engine, for a start. That adds weight and lowers efficiency for anyone using...
Toyota won't have patent on hybridization itself. It a very old idea. Using an EREV approach made it easier for the car to be tested in it's...
I'd go for Gen 2 and favor miles over years. But I don't have cashflow issues. With any used car, but particularly with a Toyota-like hybrid you...
By "share that with your friends" that's "let them know how much you're saving", not treat them to dinner. :D If it's comfortable for you, a...
There, I feel better now. ;) No offense meant, OP, but it's hard to read an unformatted stream of consciousness and could discourage people from...
I was disappointed that they didn't do anything with the ELR. I just hope they didn't spend much and they'll price it, CTh-stylee, on top of the...
I'd assumed he just lives somewhere warm and flat, like, say, Louisiana.
Well, she thinks the Prius isn't manly enough but doesn't like you to drive fast. I was trying to figure out what she does think is manly. :D
