FWIW gasoline engines also blow a lot of emissions on hard acceleration, they are typically just less visible. My understanding is that US...
FWIW, I think the reason you don't see it is pretty simple. Putting a diesel in a Prius would likely not improve its efficiency significantly....
lmseattle: The Prius can usually be jumped just like any other car using the jump terminals under the hood. Its possible that your battery failed...
Thanks for clarifying!
I believe this is quite true. Making significant changes to the BSFC characteristics is hard, but changing the gearing to move around on the same...
Yup, 400W (2x200W heaters) is about 4 Amps @120V, so pretty much any extension cord should be fine. Its only when its at 12V that there is an...
I would think it would make much more sense to run this off the existing 12V system. Understood that the acc socket wiring likely isn't up to the...
I think the Camry Hybrid one is the same specs as the HS250h? Might be easier/cheaper to come up with one of those than the Lexus version?
What you are primarily looking at is Physics, which will hold equally true for all engines/vehicles. If weight and CdA are the same, then the...
First I would definitely get a second opinion. Sounds a bit fishy to me. It may very well be running hot, but not sure how you get from there to...
Ok, I think the 50kW vs. 60kW refers to the Gen2/Gen3 difference, vs. the Gen 3 vs. PIP. I wonder if this is another case where the discussions...
Seems like the inverter might be a problem though, it does appear to be unique between the Plugin and standard. OEM Toyota Parts - Toyota OEM...
Can you share what the basis of that claim is? Both are spec'd at 60kW/153lbft in the brochures, and both seem to have the same part number? OEM...
I think it would be a fascinating project. If you start to really think about it I would spend some serious time with the techinfo website:...
This page (linked below) has some good pics of the point where the 12v dc from the inverter comes into the fuse box about half way down the page....
Playing with numbers on KBB is probably about the best you can do for depreciation estimates. I would consider that the Lexus will depreciate...
Looks like they also offer one now that is a direct replacement without having to change the terminals: Optima DS46B24R Optima battery direct fit...
Pretty much all lead batteries fare best when maintained at a full charge. The solar and EV folks have definitely found this to be true of deep...
Almost did. Except then I know I would have used the proceeds from the sale to buy myself a PHEV kit for my car instead of putting it down on the...
Probably lol Better than $5k though. Almost lol'd when they came out with that offer.
