Damn, you must drive on two wheels only.
I am happy. I got my 2012 base PiP for $25k after discount and fed tax.
Competition is good. I thought under $30k was how they should've launched.
My 2006 Prius with 164k miles lifetime averaged 53 MPG. I have about 10k miles on PiP and lifetime average is 100 MPG. I cut my gas consumption...
EPA figure includes charging loss, so yes. But if we single out your EV mile, the efficiency is 173 MPGe. That's crazy but not as crazy as...
112 MPGe with 72% EV is very efficient. Leaf is rated 115 MPGe with 100% EV.
Yes. Use metric.
I think Toyota look at the entire life cycle -- upstream production of electricity and big battery pack. That's where the advantage of BEV sinks....
Thanks! Did not realized I've reached 2k. I got a new job and still settling in. :)
I believe they are the same. Just that the regular Prius MG1 never reaches 10,000 rpm.
MG1 is rated 10,000 rpm. It reaches that rev when Prius is at 62 mph with ICE at 0 rpm. This is the same for regular prius and PiP.
My brother bought my 2006 Prius and has over 183k miles now. I put a vote for it. Still on original brakes and battery pack. He is beating EPA...
Yea, I too find that "why haven't you been playing the game" comment distasteful. Perhaps he didn't know you just got your PiP nor that PiP just...
Clearly not. Can it power the wheels with 25 hp from CNG and 25 hp from gas blended together? No! Therefore they are not in parallel. These...
Forget about exact precision. Just play the "game". I think it makes it more fun. Try to game it as much as possible.
If it doesn't have a traction battery pack, I would agree with you. The fact that the battery and fuel cell stack and power the traction motor...
So, that's where the twin blowers are.
You may see gain in vehicle level but if you include fuel production efficiency, it may actually be a loss. Per DOE, it takes 3 kWh of energy to...
I thought we both agreed that high efficiency of both fuels are important to achieve high composite MPGe. Higher EV ratio is desirable only if...
Volt would work better if you can charge both ways, at vehicle level for your commute. However, electricity production is about 40% (used to be...
