Separate names with a comma.
I was not dwelling on the past. I mentioned it because someone was ignorant and made an incorrect claim. Wouldn't be Austingreen without jumping...
Sorry to remind again that Volt does not have full power in EV mode. Motor Trend power curve showed it and 0-60 mph acceleration test (from...
I find that attitude totally rude and not constructive, especially on Prius Chat. Can't do minimum without turning on ICE? Are you angry because a...
Nope, it was not that way before. There were heavy resistance to call Volt, a plugin hybrid. If you corrected them, your comment got -1 and then...
Plugin conversions offer only 10kW to the motor before ICE kicking in. That's because HSD limits it in EV or Stealth mode. More battery power is...
I thought fire like this should not happen because the cells are spaced far enough to prevent thermal run away of the entire pack.
I'd like to see the source. From what I've read, they have been saying smaller battery is better. They also said the cost of the battery (in kWh)...
I agree. The target SOC in HV mode is 6 bars (23%). I would not go lower than 20% I don't think it is a good idea to drive PiP until SOC is 18%...
PEVE was Panasonic/Toyota until 2011. I think PiP prototype used Panasonic Lithium cells. The demo/test was successful but when the time came for...
Easy one. 1) Gas engine turns the wheels. It was supposed to only charged the battery. Fisker Karma fits the EREV definition but it is no longer...
Nope, the same set of tests would have been fine. It is how the label projects the data (misleadingly at least for my usage). EPA assumed that if...
Toyota recommends long term storage in HV level SOC. Perhaps, 18%-23% is better for their Lithium chemistry. Ford Energi plugins also used the...
EPA did not test PiP as intended (nor revise it). EV for city and gas for highway. They rated it blended 95 MPrange-based. PiP EV usage is...
Your gas door is open and ready to fuel. Perhaps, you hit the button accidentally.
I think PiP was not well understood. Just look at how EPA rated it. So it lead to mismatched expectation and perhaps lowered the survey...
You are welcome. I think the info from your research could be from the pre-production prototype model. It had 3 battery subpacks and one of the...
From my observation, PiP allows deeper discharge in HV mode because it can afford it. However, the tolerance threshold gets lower the more charge...
Top 2 guys from the PiP Top 20 MPGe thread got 152 Wh/mi and 155 Wh/mi. That's not for 1,000+ miles though.
Thanks for sharing. A good data point to know. I hope more Volt and Leaf owners share their data (better or worse). My typical trip on those EV...
Regular Prius has NiMH. PiP has only one big Li-ion battery pack. It is divided into HV and EV portion logically. 85% to 23% is for EV...
