Separate names with a comma.
For what it’s worth, the efficiency indicator fluctuates up and down on mine as well, even at constant load, not correlated to this AC nonsense...
Alright, gave that a shot — created a bit of a torture test for cabin cooling, with no need for battery cooling: It was about 91 degrees out with...
Yeah, my worry is more "Is my battery generating more heat than a battery in ideal condition should be," rather than "Will I overheat my battery"....
Now I'm going to worry that my battery is heating too fast, and that's my real problem! :) In this case I'm fairly confident it's recording...
Alright, did some testing. Ambient temp about 74 degrees F. Took it on the highway with the HVAC fully off (not just the "A/C" switch). The...
Definitely seems odd. So you’ve tracked it under similar conditions? Good to know.. Do you have a graph? I’m curious to see how the compressor...
Semi-crazy theory -- I don't have the refrigerant diagram for the gen5 Prius, but the gen4 routes hot refrigerant first to the cabin condenser,...
It went into HV at the end due to running the SOC down, so that part’s normal at least.
Thank you for looking anyway, though! Home systems like this usually have a continuous valve for each unit, which both controls the amount of...
That's a good idea, would be interesting to see if that changes its behavior. I do think in general cars try to maintain a fairly constant...
You'd be surprised, with the air blowing right on you, even if the overall cabin air temperature doesn't change, it can be very noticeable if the...
I'm curious if anyone else with this same vehicle has noticed similar? @LRO, looks like you also have a 5th gen Prime, so I'd be curious whether...
Hey, I got a PHEV for a reason, and that reason wasn't to run on gas when I didn't have to :D I totally understand this approach if you're saving...
Neither the HVAC nor the car are in eco mode :( Normal drive mode, normal HVAC mode. Mild weather outside. And yet, something starts cycling the...
Car: 2025 Prius PHEV XSE with 8000 miles on it, purchased 3 months ago at 5000 miles. Problem: When the battery needs cooling (such as half an...
Every so often, my 2025 PHEV XSE will announce “braking ahead”. This seems to be correlated with there being slowed traffic about a half mile...
I doubt the impact to efficiency from the extra energy conversions is as minimal as you suspect it is.. and I think there’s a lot more holding the...
I find Claude 4.7+ has such distinctive turns-of-phrase that they become immediate turn-offs while reading. I’m so much more interested in human...
I guess what would be really helpful is if someone with a gen5 PHEV, who also goes 5+ days without engine use, could tell me if they’ve noticed...
It’s harsh even when there’s no load, such as while stationary. Also, if you monitor the engine, it turns out it will almost never load the...
