Separate names with a comma.
First, I don't see why you wouldn't be Ev for the entire 18 miles. Second, putting it in Hv doesn't stress the engine because it essentially...
Based on ordinary Li-ion technology, I can give you a mathematical argument on why the battery should last more than 150,000 Ev-only miles before...
That's good advice. If you have to finance a car you shouldn't have bought it, you should have bought a much cheaper used car instead.
If you just touch the turn signal and let go the default is that they will flash three times. I had mine changes to 5 as well.
Shutting off the seat belt reminder beeper too, for several reasons.
Because they're morons. My very first trip in my Prime was 240 miles round trip so I could never ever say I haven't used a drop of gas. But...
Don't forget, there are backups for stopping the car: Regeneration Engine braking Hydraulic friction brakes Mechanical friction brakes...
The energy it takes to raise and lower the windows is indistinguishable from zero in the overall scheme of things.
You're confusing yourself right here: "JUST the fan (with the AC not on)" The fan draws a small amount of electricity but probably not enough to...
You really should stop talking about things you know nothing about, which appears to be about everything when it comes to electricity. "CCA...
Aerodynamic drag force = 1/2 * rho * A * Cd * V^2. We can compute rho from a local weather station (rho = P / R*T where R is 287.15, P is...
I'm not going to allow someone to put out false information without answering it. If I did, someone later could stumble upon it and (for example)...
There's no need to protect the battery from over-current. Jump-starting a car can easily draw 400A. What has to be protected is the wires...
Okay, I got 2.14m^2,
There's no fuse. If there were, you couldn't jump-start anyone's car. But you can, and I have.
Nervous or not, that's what it does. It has to. Otherwise, regeneration would add to friction braking and change the feel (a lot) between HV and...
Anyone (this means you, Bob) want to try to compute the frontal area of the Prime? I'm going to do so and wouldn't mind a few cross-checks. The...
There's no good reason to apply friction braking unless regeneration is insufficient to meet the demand, and I'm pretty sure that's what it does....
I did some experiments on another car. I found that driving a hot car with the windows down cools it far more quickly than the AC does. This is...
Using the brakes in B mode in Ev will just add regeneration until you're at max regen. Using B mode down a large hill is the way to go unless...
