Well I plugged in the following into Autotrader: Minivan/SUV/Crossover With 3rd row seats Under $12,001 Less than 150,000 miles 2012 or newer...
My goal would be a higher passenger vehicle that I can swap the Avalon for, so not more than $12,000. A new vehicle would be nice, but no, not...
My brother, who's over 6ft tall, claims the rear is plenty big for adults. But the reality is I have never tried to get into one myself and have...
The MAZDA5 is also available with 7 seats over seas. The thing is, the Avalon holds 5 people and a lot of stuff. I don't need to trade it for...
I also just found out the car rental places are only open on weekends here, Saturdays and Sundays only, as if being open for only a couple hours a...
Ya, it's only one more seat. A lot of other minivans have 7 or 8 seats. I miss the old days of having 9 seater vans and SUV's (and 6 seater...
I keep throwing around the idea of trading the Avalon for a minivan. As a family of 4, the Avalon works until we need to transport more than one...
Doing some math, a 10% loss in aerodynamic drag is a loss of almost 1,500 Wh. per hour at around 62 mph or 100 kph. But weighting a Prius up to...
Ya, but putting more batteries to save fuel in a box that will make the car use more fuel makes zero sense. The energy to move a vehicle can...

Looking at a topographic map, the highest point (not necessarily a road) is about 700m and drops down to sea level in that area. Where I live...
But doesn't everything, even Li-ION fall well below LTO? Even one of the selling points for Tesla's LiFePO4 cars is that LiFePO4 charges faster...
I don't know why you keep talking like LiFePO4 batteries are the worst, only good for 0.5C or 2 hour charge rate, when there are people using them...
I haven't done the math recently but it's not impossible to calculate. The thing would be to apply it to the longest passes around here and go...
I'll look into it. That's a good price and just enough for what I would need. I'd also like something that could assorb enough juice going down...
Ya. The thing is also the price. I don't want to spend $10,000 on batteries to save $500 on fuel. I do wonder what options would be best. I...
Not that it wouldn't work; it just doesn't seem ideal. The ICE replacement motor would run at low RPMs most of the time. That might not affect...
