Separate names with a comma.
[IMG] Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have found that lithium ion batteries operate longer and faster when their electrodes...
[IMG] Vienna, Austria- November 5th - The Austrian automobile club ARBĂ–* (Auto-Motor und Radfahrerverbund Ă–sterreiche) has awarded the Toyota...
We are back to square one. [IMG] Gasoline is 84% efficient at production. Hydrogen is 67% efficient. They are superior to electricity production....
That was done in 2002 with the prototype FCHV model. After 13 years of testing, the FC vehicle is now a generation ahead of refueling...
I disagree. For EVs, heat was wasted at the power plants. Average electricity production and transmission in the US is about 33%. Those 67% in...
We know Gen3 shuts down at 45mph (70kmh). So 110 kmh for Gen4 is 70mph. See @giora post: Toyota Unveils Fuel-saving Technologies for New Prius |...
I read Toyota has FC buses in Japan. Besides that point, how would you suggest rolling out refueling infrastructure without FCV passenger in...
There is a reason why Mirai has a small NiMh battery that works well in the cold. It will work better than Lithium BEVs. I believe Mirai can...
Mirai has 170 kWh equivalent of hydrogen. About 60% of that makes it to the wheels. The other 40% is wasted as heat but recovered for cabin heat....
Heat pump is draining the excess, now down to 729 kWh.
The engine can be off at around 70 mph, according to the engineer presentation slides (pg.16).
Of course not, which is why I have a plugin Prius. I hope you guys now see it is a well balanced vehicle that was engineered with respect to...
If you go back and read my prior comments, you should know I wasn't using Kaizen as a term from TMS. I think we agree on the roll out process...
So you went from $25k Prius to $80k Model S and it wasn't as clean so you got $20-30k solar panels? A regular Prius with the same solar system...
Majority of the parts in Mirai are mass produced as they are shared with other Toyotas and hybrids. H2 tank and FC stack are unique. For exampke,...
Steering wheel is now a circle. They were not in previous generations.
Grumpy. ;)
Second revision. This time, I made the planetary gearsets in Sun/Ring/Carrier (SRC) order for all. [ATTACH]
The vehicle engineering, testing and validation has been done. Kaizen has begun for further refinement and the challenge now is how do we crank...
Perhaps they plan to use smaller ICE with PiP2. That's a possibility to keep the 12v under the hood but we'll have to see. Larger motors may not...
