    can't argue that but it was a nice little move by toyota to remove the parisitic drag of the pulley.

    well the parasitic drag is still there in MG1 providing the output to assist the battery in running the compressor. No free lunch. Will be interesting to see if the City part of the test will bring the HV battery down to a level that will start the ICE. (two pinks)

    its always amusing to me to see a technical discussion carried on with units such as 'two pinks'
