Vince I have had 240V charging since my PIP was new on 3/28/12. I agree that it is not economical if that is a controlling concern. But it is handy...
Thank you for the nice thought. Our cars were delivered in Spokane at almost the same time as you know. I have been averaging just about the...
I don't know if the RAV4 side moldings would fit the Prius V. My guess is that they would. Your local Toyota dealer probably has some (maybe the...
I tried owning a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle AND a Prius for a similar effect as a Plug in Prius (because that was the only available...
I suspect that the initial price has a lot to do with it. There are less expensive new cars available. There is a little more hassle with...
That is true of a battery which is not installed in a car like ours. Depending on when you test the battery, like if the trunk is open which...
I have a 220V EVSE (Leviton) and the quick charge is nice when I want to add charge in a hurry. This is not common, however. Most of the time I set...

Chris11 is being careful and as observant as possible. This is a good thing. As I understand the issue, the problems come not so much from the...
I considered making my '06 into a PHEV. I got a PiP instead. Cars are perishable. Modified cars are more perishable AND less valuable. When it is...
I watch 8. I have two SG2s. The non xGauges are MPH because it is more accurate than the dash reading, RPM, VLT to keep track of my 12v battery,...
I wonder if I am typical of PiP owners, or either more or less connected with the car. I like to think of myself as rather more "with it " than most....
I am surprised that no one has jumped in to respond before now. I have a ScanGauge (two actually so I can follow eight things, not just four). This...
This was posted on PC a while back.
The problem is not with the size of the traction battery. The problem is with the bar system of reporting the remaining charge. Toyota...
