Separate names with a comma.
When it comes to renewable, I think efficiency does not matter much because the carbon footprint is so low. That was also Jeff's point and I...
I am not following how Toyota has control over NiMh. Toyota licensed the patent from US company. Nobody is stopping them from manufacturing it....
Same spec. The packaging looks different. [Img]
I can do 50 MPG at 70 mph. I am not sure if I can get 100 MPGe on electricity at that speed. Even if it is a tie, higher energy density fuel...
Yup. C-Max Energi. Wanna see the 8.8 kWh in Fusion Energies (Sedan)?
Yup, I was using 2011 Leaf model in reference to the equvilency (50 MPG = 100 MPGe) point. It was not used to make the Leaf look bad. You got 64...
EPA already calculated CO2. See Beyond Tailpipe Emission site for plugin emission. 50 MPG Prius emits 222 g/mi while 99 MPGe 2011 Leaf emits 220...
Good question and you are so polite about it too. :) 1) Let's look at the upstream (fuel production). For 39% efficient natural gas power...
Did You Know? About 2/3 of the energy used to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity is “lost” at power plants and in power lines....
8.8kWh like this? Hopefully, clever Toyota engineer found a better way to package higher capacity, such as under rear seats like Prius c. [IMG]
You do only ~5,000 miles a year with many urban short trips. A regular Prius will not get the EPA rated 50 MPG in that driving condition. That's...
PiP is a regular Prius with ability to charge from regular 120v outlet to get about 11 miles EV range. Designed for local short trips under 62 mph...
Plugin Prius is ideal for you. There are great deals going on. If it is not sold in your state, you can buy it out of state.
Yup, coal (major source) power plants are very inefficient. Natural gas plants are better, above 40%. Heat generated from those plants will be...
See the thread below, that should help. PiP tracks both EV and HV miles along with corresponding kWh and Gallons used. Those 4 fundamental numbers...
Time for PiP? As it doesn't need block heater to avoid short trip penalty. Just use the EV miles :)
This SSC does not appear on my VIN. Does it on any of yours?
The new home I am purchasing has very old wiring (two-pronged) to the garage. I think I need to run a new line to charge my PiP. My electric panel...
Use whatever better fit for you. That's the benefit of having the flexibility. If I remember, you probably have the worse case commute for PiP....
That appeal is the same as pure EV. The cost to achieve it is in question. Incentive helps but interior room and the hit in overall efficiency...
