Separate names with a comma.
Correct. When power is needed temporarily, for example when the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or when accelerating suddenly.* *: When...
I'm checking the site for the manual every day, but it's not there yet.
You should only notice it if you were demanding more than about 52kW. If you're below that and dual motor mode was operating, MG2 should be able...
If you have Flash. Toyota Prius - Power Split Device
Yes...and MG1 reverses direction as the ICE RPM increases.
Right, but of course that means no power from MG1 to the wheels during that time.
Why? They have the same MG2 and the same ICE. The bigger battery enables it to maintain full power for longer, not get more power for a short...
It definitely seems to improve the view out the rear a bit.
Probably. Probably, because of the spool up time for the ice. Getting the ICE started is MG1's job, and then you'd have to wait for it to start...
PM motors generally have very low losses from simple running. Most of the losses tend to be i^2*R losses in the windings. This means losses are...
That calculator doesn't include the option of either a CVT or an electric drive system. It's for conventional cars.
I've been in a power-needed emergency a few times in my life, all of them below 20mph. One time, a lady ran a stop sign at a 4-way stop after I...
Look, I have two cars - a 2004 Prius and a 1988 Mazda MX-6 GT Turbo. The Mazda is 0-60 is about 6.8 seconds (7.2 measured at high altitude)....
Looks like a smooth, easy drive mostly at 45mph. Try this left-turn dead-stop merge to 50mph up a 7% grade:...
Doesn't matter. We don't know the state of charge at the time, and we do know that if it's near depletion that dual motor mode will be disabled,...
They had a translator standing right next to the guy!
Whoever wrote that is dumb as dirt.
Is it worse than the one I have every morning where I have to make a 90 degree left turn and accelerate from 0 to 50 while climbing a 7% grade all...
I'd trust the guy who designed it more than some marketing wonks.
Then why did Toyota's chief engineer say that the Ev mode power limit was 76kW and the HV mode electrical power limit was 52kW?
