hey gang, please let me know if im really really wrong or at least straighten me out. if i remember right the regular prii have a voltage from the "big" battery pack of about 500 volts. is it true that the c has a voltage output 144. am i missing something or is the difference that big?
The Gen 3 Prius has an HV battery voltage of 201 DC, the inverter raises it to the 650 volts AC that you are remembering. (It was lower on Gen 2) Toyota Prius - 2012 Performance & Specifications In the c, the equivalents are 144v DC and 520v AC Toyota Prius c - 2012 Performance & Specifications
ahh, thank you jimbo. that is really helpful. have you ever had like a nagging factoid that for some reason felt important. thats how this is to me. although, its not true i always tell folks that if i jump their car off it would end up on the moon. i know iknow that it would be the same as a regular car
I feel empowered by the internet. For decades, I had this feeling "I read something about that once" and had no indexing system to ever find the data again. Now a days it looks like I know my stuff, when it is still the same 'I should know this' feeling, followed by 1/4 hour in Google/Wikipeadia/bookmarks and I have a good answer. If I ever figure out how to google wisdom, instead of mere facts, watch out!
