I'm confused by you repeating the same info about charging the traction battery with solar on the Prius because previously you agreed that it...
The Prius Prime will be nothing like any of the available Tesla vehicles. It's also yet-to-be-released, so you have no idea what potential...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the gen 1 PiP, MG2 provides both motive power and regen when braking. MG1 starts the ICE and provides regen from...
There will always be complaints. Some will complain the battery is too big, others too small. There are people who wish it was a 2-seater because...
There is one instance where I cannot figure out why the ICE turns on. After a long descent using the brakes to regen, the ICE will kick on for no...
I just got back from my trip to Yosemite, and I'm not any closer to figuring out the regen behavior. With no EV range left in the battery I began...
My experience is that the car indicates 65 MPH when it switches to HV, but actual speed (GPS indicated) is 62. The speedo in my car is about 2.5...
I don't get vibration or excessive "play" in my suspension. Cornering feels normal for a car of this size, although tire selection is going to be...
The kWh sounds right to me. I can put in about 3 kWh in 90 minutes using a 240v EVSE. The last 25 minutes seem to slow down the rate of charge,...

There is an economic principle that says individuals are often poor at estimation, but taking an average of all estimates from individuals results...
Gas engine for when more throttle is needed, EV for when less throttle is needed. Gasoline engines are much more efficient towards full throttle...
The minimum battery capacity that qualifies for the full $7500 tax credit is 16 kWh, which is the size of the original Chevy Volt. That car had a...
7 cents is extremely cheap; probably the lowest cost per kWh I've ever heard of. I pay 8 cents at all times. The link below is a spreadsheet...
I always begin by depleting the first 3 or so miles of EV range so that the battery has capacity to capture energy when braking. When it's full,...
I average 700 miles per tank because most of my commute can be accomplished in EV mode. The MPG indicator shows 2 MPG high compared to a hand...
I'm guilty of ad hominems myself, but lets criticize ideas only, and not the people advocating them. It's actually a discussion of how many EV...
