Looking at the data I shared on the first page of this thread, the Prius is still significantly more efficient than the Jetta TDI at any steady...
Jack, this might be true if the Prius didn't also use an alternative cycle engine that results in peak efficiency that rivals that of diesel. The...
FWIW my understanding is that the PiP pack is a simple 56s1p arrangement of 21.5Ah cells. The traditional calculation of charge/discharge rate is...
Seems unlikely. If the numbers above are reasonably accurate, 3kWh charge in ~20 minutes, then we're a talking about ~9kW or 30-40A DC. Relative...
We're very happy with our v 3 (lowercase v) To me the v five (lowercase v) fivewasn't worth it unless you added the Advanced Technology Package,...
Welcome! :)
Does mini-VCI work on Gen 1?
A coworker also installed the ecohitch 2" on his 2013 liftback and was very happy with it. No trailer, he just wanted to be able to use a bike...
Very cool! This is one of the features we miss most going from a Gen 2 to a v (lowercase v) 3.

Here are the bits of data I usually pull out when this question comes up :) A few years back Motor Trend did a piece that included steady state /...
When I did mine I found that the repair manual on TIS recommends adding 1.4oz of oil when replacing the condenser. Here's the thread from my DIY...
Not sure how similar the C is to the Gen 2 1.5L curves though...
FYI, all Prii get 100,000 mile federal emissions equip warranty, but its limited to 8 years. CA (and several other states) get 10yr 150,000 mile....
A lot of this comes down to engine efficiency, which is why there is no one right answer for all hills/speeds. [IMG] Comparing these graphs,...
Hadn't seen this before, but could be useful for estimating costs: PHEV Fuel Economy
FWIW, here's what I do in our '05 when driving up north into the mountains. - When climbing bring up the "energy" display that shows the arrows...
BTW this is pretty old but interesting: http://www.nrel.gov/vehiclesandfuels/energystorage/pdfs/2a_2002_01_1962.pdf
Sure it would be great, but I'm not aware that Toyota has published any such info. I'd say the observation that the controller starts...
It may be a bit of a crap shoot. If the dealer wants to they can probably use this as a reason to deny the warranty claim. I had been using the...
