Separate names with a comma.
Understood. That's a major complicating factor on both vehicles when trying to compare MPGe. It would definable be cool if they can start pulling...
So that would look like: Standard 50mpg Prius: 32 mi * 6 days / week * 52 weeks per year = 9984 miles per year 9984 miles /50mpg = 199.7 gallons...
I would also expect the Volt to be less efficient. EPA numbers are 3.44mi/kWh for PiP vs. 2.78mi/kWh, or 19.2% less efficient. If that ratio...
I noticed that your prev. post saying the same seemed to go missing. Most likely a server hiccup?
Here's a wag at testing the assumption. Based on the data reported so far here: PIP & MPG Spreadsheet | PriusChat The overall average miles...
Could very well be! I don't have a PiP, and am just basing that on what I've heard people report. I assumed 12 mi winter, 15 mi summer. Anyone...
Looks good John, thanks! Rob
That seems like a typical kill-a-watt measured full charge from empty from what I've seen people posting, 3-3.2kWh. Rob
That is interesting, didn't see that part. Lean burn makes more sense than anything the hydrogen might be doing. Honda runs up to 22:1 in their...
Thanks John. To be sure we're using apples to apples, EV range should be typical observed range summer/winter average, power per charge should be...
Innerpri, the answer really lies in what you want :) The PiP will certainly use less gas. It will probably not save enough money wise to pay for...
Nice use of false equivalency and presumed causality there. There are two related methods used in studying complex systems like weather, or...
I'm not sure I understand this base assumption. Why is the cost between gas and wall charging is relevant? In charge sustain mode the Prius will...
Nice analogy. Except that Galileo was technical, was brilliant, and spent years compiling the scientific evidence to support his theory. The...
inquiring minds want to know :)
That seems like a very valid concern. Might be worth getting a scan gauge or similar and trying the normal commute route once in a manually...
Part of it is the batteries, but with that short a commute the engine warm-up cycle is probably killing you too. A block heater might actually...
I think PK was just observing that this is basically how you get 120V in your house. A typical electric service is 240V, with two out of phase...
Based on the info here: http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy06osti/40605.pdf a high class (ie big & expenssive) commercial electrolyzer uses about 53.4 -...
Good comments all! Lopez, your thoughts on the second controller seem to make sense. Guessing that's why PIS does it as an add on ECM to their...
