[ATTACH] This was from the trip back home with a full charge at in-law. It was an hour and 12 mins drive covering 49.1 miles. We used heater...
The best mod is between the steering wheel and the front seat. The driver makes a huge difference. The nature of your commute dictates as well....
Thanks, will fix it.
Charging loss for PiP from wall is about 15%. Battery discharge is about 85% efficient so another 15% loss. I forgot about 5% loss from motor and...
I think it is due to larger displacement ICE and not having EGR to enable efficient operation at low loads. I don't think Ford published BSFC...
Yup, press the A/C button on your remote fob.
I have read SAE papers and the warm up stage advanced timing was chosen to generate max heat to bring up the exhaust cat converter temp (to 600...
Both steps can be taken at the same time. Well designed plugins like Leaf and PiP running on electricity are as clean or cleaner than 50 MPG Prius...
To brake without using your foot. To regen brake slower, easier on the battery. I found one useful application. If you brake over a pothole and...
I think I get OP's point. By using gas for cabin heat, you lessen battery usage thus extending the "electrifying" driving range. Energy from gas...
In EV mode at 62 mph, shift into B gear. The gas engine will not kick in. A regular Prius would start ICE if you do it above 25 mph.
Just because you got higher than 100 MPG does not mean it is EV mile. You need to be in the "EV Driving Ratio" screen (see below for mine) to...
I agree. I was pointing out that it would not increase the EV miles (as OP indicated).
L1 (120v) will finish charging in about 3 hours. L2 would cut that in half to 1.5 hours. I am not sure of the charging limit from the wall but...
If you had 9 EV miles and triggerred the ICE with a heavy foot, driving during engine warm up could use a few EV miles up. Before ICE could...
Forget to mention that Trip A in the screenshot is my lifetime. There is 1,000 limit (or 10,000?) in the trip counter so it restarted from 1....
For emission, I hope they take account of upstream emission from producing electricity and gasoline.
It has been one year since I got my PiP for $25k. I have driven 10,761 miles. Here are some data. Electricity Used: 1,035 kWh (Plus 12 to 15% for...
Yes, assuming the warm up process completed. In that case, you will lose EV miles since ICE has not returned the borrowed charge.
ICE will not shut down until the "borrowed" charge is returned back into the battery (charge sustain). Hence, they are counted as HV miles.
