Separate names with a comma.
The accuracy should be around 2-3 MPG. Prius computer displays 64 mph when the actual speed is 62 mph (reported by OBDII). The disparity is less...
Bob Lutz saw Prius as a halo car. He did not realized that it is also an affordable car for the masses. Therefore, Volt missed the mark of the...
That's gas consumption, not fuel economy. Both used to mean the same thing but not anymore with a plugin vehicle that uses two fuels. For...
Prius gets about 74 MPG, unadjusted raw dyno numbers -- the same numbers the 80 MPG SuperCar goal was set. I think Gen4 Prius with 10% higher...
The prototype had two separate packs. That's where these misinformation is from. The production version only has one 4.4 kWh Lithium battery...
So Energi is a full performance BEV for 20 miles then - as it completed highway cycle without ICE.
Doesn't that stop the ICE from starting? Oh, I guess not since the temp sensor is for outside temp.
That actually come from Volt fanboys in order to differentiate it from PiP. PiP can be an EV in city cycle as it used no gas in EPA city cycle....
If you are ok with EV in city driving, PiP EV is more than sufficient. 50 MPG gas engine is great on the highway and refuels really fast. You can...
I am saying people want Volt because it has "full**" EV power to accelerate until you run out of EV miles. Those bought into EREV marketing and...
Saw it too and looks interesting. I am not willing to trade safety. Need more info for it.
If EV driving experience is important for you, go with Volt. If other things are more important, go with PiP to C-Max Energi. I cannot charge my...
The regular Prius is geared so gas engine revs lower due to higher torque from 1.8L engine. The engine also has wider range of sweet efficient...
Yes. It takes energy to move the car. Energy is in the fuel. The form of energy does not matter if it is solid, liquid, electron, etc.
How is this? Just need to add PiP. Prius Generations | PriusChat [img]
2 mode FWD simplification went from 3 PSD to 2 PSD. Voltec finally drops another PSD but retains the clutches. Green Car Congress: GM Simplifies...
A great follow warp up. :)
It is harder to make the best of both fuel sources with respect to efficiency and emission. It is easier to go brute force with add more approach....
Ahem, with much higher tax incentive which was geared toward the battery size and nothing to do with efficiency nor emission. Volt is as clean as...
Isn't it interesting that EREV suddenly became a taboo or something? Energi gas engine will come on when you floor it. It is something a typical...
