Perhaps, but I don't think Li-ion self discharge is that bad. I doubt a full PHV battery will not go flat in one year. The 12 volts lead acid...
You are mixing up gas consumption with fuel economy. 100 MPG you see is the consumption, abbreviated as CONS. If you were to repeat such drive...
But the charging light turns off once it is full. I don't think there is any topping off since it won't start again until the timer triggers it or...
Resonance wireless charging that Toyota is using is pretty efficient and tolerable for misalignment. It also converts AC to DC that the battery...
Kill-a-watt measures at the wall. PiP measure at battery discharge. There is about 15% charging loss into the PHV battery. Not sure why you saw...
The gas engine needs to run once in a while for maintenance. There is no better day than a cold one to do it, as the waste heat is used to warm up...
Let's assume that your previous car was a regular Prius. You replacing it with a PiP, does not reduce fuel economy (of neither fuel). You are...
For battery life, only charge when you need it. Toyota recommends long term storage with no EV miles. The battery sitting on a full charge is not...
Would it be cheaper to cheat on the HOV lane and taking the risk of getting tickets? I think not. If you got $6,500 incentives, PiP would've cost...
The title should have been "Dissapointed in HOV lane",
Absolutely. I cannot open the door and drive away with the Smart Key convinence. I need to unplug and close the charge lid then hang the EVSE....
There is a catch. Actually, there are many and that is the problem. It is not just any plug. It has to be L1, meaning a dedicated 15 amps. It...
Yup, we have two stories plus attic. It is an old house (1920) but well built. No drafts and feel pretty air tight. The attic doesn't have full...
A great point. With my PiP, I choose the shortest route if I have EV miles. If I'll be using gas, I choose the fastest route.
Yes, using less gas but are you increasing or decreasing fuel economy. If so, which fuel(s), perhaps both? That is the meat of this thread. ;)
I know the title is tricky and counter intuitive to understand. That is the reason why I think we should discuss it and the PiP forum is probably...
I was talking about outside temp. This morning, outside temp was 45 deg F. The first floor was 61 deg F, down from 69 deg last night (unheated for...
I have split units with 21-23 SEER. Our last 3 months (with PiP charging and all my lawn equipments are electric) consumption have been 774, 567...
When you get 1,000 miles, post it on the top 20 MPGe thread. You will find out how you did with fuel(s) economy compared to others.
50 gallons tank?
