Separate names with a comma.
I will certainly be able to know if my engine braking kicks in automatically, if it happens. I may have a tachometer by that time, but it may not...
Not my first Prius, but thanks for the info regardless. I suspect there is a little room for some extra charge, even when you show a full plug-in...
"At this point, you are the one owing the forum evidence of your contrarian claim." Claims? I'm making claims? Here's the claim I'm trying to...
I've always said that the car will use a bit of regen braking while coasting down a hill. But I don't know at what point that the battery will...
Engine braking is computer controlled. The switch activates the computer responsible for valve timing. The valve timing is variable due to the way...
Something never explained to me was at what speed does this automatic engine braking kick in? How does it know the speed limit? On the hill where...
If you could have posted that, none of this would have been necessary. I can't accept anecdotes alone. I will endeavor to provide hard evidence.
That's the point of what I'm doing here, but I don't agree that the burden of proof lies with me. The claim that engine braking occurs on it's...
I have my car plugged in right now. I have a big, long hill near here. If I can get to the top with a full battery, I can start down the hill,...
Sorry, but that's all anecdotal. I just want to see it happen, so I can correct my mistake if I made one. Someone cast doubt on the engine being...
After all the research I've done, I'd certainly like to see how engine braking can occur autonomously in situations like a full battery. Sorry if...
I certainly don't want to be wrong. I want to correct my mistake if I am, but where is the evidence that B mode engages automatically when it...
Misunderstood, indeed.
I don't care what you have hooked up to your Rav4. Mine is Prius, and it does exactly as I describe.
I was trying to simplify my example. Two electric motors was not relevant. The main motor provides drive torque, while the other motor creates...
Well, we're straying out in to the wild fantastic, if we are thinking I have a special and unique car. That's just not plausible. I think they...
More crickets...
Well, you can disagree all you want, and you may think you are "winning" or something, but your facts are wrong. When you let off the...
Another misunderstood aspect that there must be some sort of "clutch" or other decoupler in the Prius drivetrain. There is none. Think of it like...
Am I correct in assuming that the "B like behavior" you describe is the drag you feel when you let off the accelerator? I think what you're seeing...
