A 1500W 100V AC inverter has been an optional extra with the PIP since the start in Japan - it's fully integrated, providing several outlets...
You replaced the whole traction battery? Did you find a used replacement, and was it expensive?
I wonder if you plugged in the car as normal with a dead 12V battery (not trying to charge the 12V separately first, like what the OP did) would...
The first generation UK PIP is limited to 85 km/h in EV mode (same as the rest of Europe), or about 92 km/h indicated (on the original 15" wheels...
The first generation Ford Fusion Hybrid (and a few other Fords, also the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid) uses power-split transmissions produced by...

I'm not American, so I don't do "model years" ;)
Toyota's terminology: ZVW50 = current Prius (2015-) ZVW52 = current Prius PHV/Prime (2016-)
It's just marketing spin, all Toyota and Lexus hybrids are "series-parallel" or "power-split" hybrids with some variations. The 3rd gen Prius,...

Yes, my experience is the same - there doesn't seem to be an easy way to keep the AC running while the car is plugged in. Some details on the...
Not sure if it's the same as yours - but on the European model if you start the car with the parking brake on, the DRLs stay off until you release...
Ralvals' car is a used import from Japan - there is no warranty.
I assumed this is a used Japanese car, imported privately. The seller was probably an auction in Japan (or a local importer), and the local Toyota...
So no one uses the parking brake in the US? :)
But what's "empty"? Once EV mode disengages (around 23% SOC) then it's running in hybrid mode, and the ICE starts immediately which changes the...
Yes, we have similar here with most of the main brands claiming to have some additives, though it's hard to tell how effective they are. There's...
