Can we please stop with the totally senseless FUD? If your house leaks so much that an OPEN garage is going to send car fumes inside in...
They are far more likely to steal my neighbor's generator. Mostly a Prius acting as a generator looks exactly like any other Prius, with locked...
True, But it should be noted that while it may use less energy, it may not mean that it uses less power (when it is on). Looking at the Torque...
I guess it will surprise you to know that Europeans with generally higher standards of living than North Americans, use about half as much energy....
PEAK efficiency, of course, unlike your generator which needs to load match. By being OFF most of the time. It amazes me that you don't seem...
You still seem to be missing the fact that the small loads require the generator running at some minimum RPMs. 1000 RPMs to charge a phone is...
Both are using exactly the same type of motion. Optimizing is a completely different subject. And when the Prius is charging it is trying to do...
AC travels much better than DC, especially at the same wattage. So generally you want AC cabling rather than DC cabling. Look at the difference...
What do you see as the advantage of that? The disadvantages I see are: 1) It is temporary. 2) The length of cable is increased, causing more...
Instead they put their faith in non-scientists who went on about hype...
You are not going to get 6000 W out of the ACC battery. If you want that much, you will need to connect to the traction battery directly.
Red = +, Black = -, Green = Ground.

The Prius is also designed to generate electricity efficiently. By the way, how does the generator convert the energy of gasoline to electrical...
It is not simply a plug with an extension cord. It is an inverter which converts 200V DC to 110 AC 60 Hz.
Technically, outlets don't care on which side of them the draw is. HOWEVER, your electric company most assuredly DOES! You could plug you...
Sorry, "the Voltage coming out would be 120 all the time."
No, you might have wanted to say 170W, But that is NOT 170 Wh, but rather 120 kWh (per month). 3.91 kWh each day * 30.4 days in each month = 118...
No, it's not. It is likely 170 kWh (kiloWatt-hours) 1000 times 170 Wh. Your toaster draws between 1000-1500 Watts. Note: kWh is 1000 Watts *...
