Separate names with a comma.
It is heavier than I expected. It is about 2 lbs. I guess it makes sense because there are a lot of silica gel crystals. I had it for 2 days and...
Yet his screen name claims it is not about the money. Which is it? NS4 (next gen PiP) will have the next generation of HSD so I would expect to...
It is your opinion and seems to be your established position. Do you have any fact to support your conjecture? SAE articles for the development...
Yes, it is to prevent over-revving the max RPM of MG1. But, why was the power-split device (PSD) gear ratio chosen that way? To make my point...
This is how you make the most impact. Prius does not use any exotic materials or batteries, just plain smart and clever engineering.
At 62 mph, the generator would be spinning close to 10,000 rpm (rated Max). I think it was geared that way so that 72% of torque from gas engine...
The crystals will absorb humidity. Once it gets full, you plug it in to "remove" water from the crystals. It can then be reused and it has 5 years...
Yup, I adjusted with 15% charging loss and it came out 129 MPGe which pretty much what his dash said. It is impressive for a 5 seater plugin....
41 Deg F today and estimate was 11.9 miles. After 9.9 miles morning trip, it had about 2.5 miles when I shut down.
I did not know Model S lacks the active thermal management of the battery pack. Roadster had it as it uses the A/C to cool down the pack, even...
Ok, but you only drive 52 miles per day, on average. I guess 2-3 miles vampire loss per day is acceptable. Does vampire loss differ through out...
Wow, that's more electricity than it takes to fully charge PiP. So, if you only drive 12 miles a day, Model S would consume 8 kWh?
Interesting observation! PiP counts electrons.
Those pre-condition kWh needs to be added because it won't display in the dash, I don't think. For PiP, we use gas to warm up the cabin and the...
Great data. 475 Wh/mi in Jan, wow. Heat sucks up the most energy. Did you use A/C in the summer? It does not look much impact on Wh/mi.
I want to point out that the kWh dash report does not include charging loss, from the wall. Regarding vampire draw, how many miles were you...
Electricity Efficiency - 129 MPGe Gas Efficiency - 35 MPG Fuel Ratio - 88% EV Combined Efficiency - 97 MPGe EV efficiency is impressive. How...
So, it makes PiP the first and only plugin car with 10 years / 150k miles battery warranty?
Looks like it is a suitable car for you. How are you doing with your EV ratio? Do you know the fuel economy breakdown of both fuels?
Once you run out of EV battery (solid block), PiP will start in HV mode. In HV mode, you only have 10 kW of traction power before ICE kicking in....
