If you getting 35 MPG in city, you are driving it wrong. You are likely taking a lot of conversion loss trying to drive with battery and regenning...
I have not charged my PiP for about 2 months. I long for those full charges.
Toyota increased ICE displacement from 1.5 to 1.8L to gain MPG. More torque means ICE and PSD can be geared for lower rpm which boosted MPG.
I think we both can agree that if adding more battery to the point of dragging down the gas MPG and the electric efficiency, would be the worse...
Mike, PiP started in 2008 with three NiMh packs. Then it went to Lithium in 2010 preproduction model (floor not flat). 2012 production model has a...
On about the emission of Peugeot 308? I think that comes the closes to Auris HSD in size, power, fuel economy, etc.
I wish they can update the firmware to do that but I doubt it. It is in my wishlist for PiP gen2 though. Not that I would upgrade. That's what I...
That's how Prius works since 1997. It gives higher priority to emission and then fuel economy second. No need to make sense out of it. It was just...
I think the range will depend on the cost (surely have dropped), grid-mix emission level vs. gasoline emission. The issue was, the 50 MPG engine...
Agreed. However, HSD doesn't have starter, alternator, belts or a dedicated transmission box. My point was, with the conventional cars adopting...
No heat recycling from the exhaust either. The engine is not even Atkinson cycle. Engine torque split to wheel is about 33% (when it is clutched...
Gen2 cut the cost from Gen1 also. They reduced the number of battery modules from 38 to 28.
Nope. Emission and fuel economy are trade-offs. For example, HSD would not shutdown the ICE until catalytic converter is certain temp. That's...
Not only that, Atkinson cycle is cleaner than Otto cycle. The purpose of the thread was to compare Auris diesel vs HSD model right? The fuel...
I would be disappointed if Toyota added more EV miles and the efficiency of both electricity and gasoline suffers because of that. I am sure...
What about with petro-electric hybrid (HSD)?
The regular Toyota getting Atkinson cycle engines means the cost of "hybrid premium" will be lowered right? That's another way of looking at it....
One of the "mode" (activated by clutch) lowers the rpm of MGb. That's what we called changing gear ratio or shifting.
