There is a combined motor/inverter efficiency contour for the 2010 Prius in the lower right on page 10 of this ORNL report:...
I don't know if its possible (or legal) but I always thought it would cool in a PHEV conversion to commandeer the speedometer readout to display...
Thanks rofl. I think part of the confusion is indeed that the article you linked is related to the 2009-2010 early prototype PiP. This was...
Regarding the PiP not recharging the Li battery on regen, I think this was only in the early prototypes. I don't think this was a feature, just a...
Not sure I understand where you are going rofl. Sounds like you're comparing apples and oranges as it were. I don't think the lifetime advantage...
Thanks all for the comments. A few more thoughts: - Should have clarified, my interest is mostly in the Gen 2, but I imagine much is similar...
Awesome project, and great that you are doing this all out in the open! Keep up the great work! Rob

Part of what you need to think about or clarify if you've thought already is what you are trying to achieve. That greatly affects the tradeoff,...
Could be. Steve's a good guy who knows a lot about the Prius and is a pretty neutral party to all the plugin drama that's unfolded over the...
