Dome light fuse / J6 Connector / slow battery drain
Hello to all.
I'm new here, first post. Been reading blogs for a long time. I hope someone smarter than me can help.
I have a 2007 Prius hatchback gen 3
The dam car keeps dying the battery in the winter, I even attached two batteries in series for the last winter, but now I decided to solve the problem.
I traced the problem to a dome fuse and from there to a J6 connector that have issues.
The problem is that the J6 connector connects to 34 subsystems, and I do not have the expertise or time to take everything apart.
I found that those 3 connectors on the picture 1 are grounded and I have no idea where they go to.
Here are the one...MozartFixerPrius Dec 31, 2019 Gen 2 Prius Care, Maintenance and Troubleshooting Read More Views: 5,499 Likes: 0 Replies: 16 -

Pennsylvania Proposing EV and Hybrid Tax
First I wanted to thank the forum for lots of great information on my Prime, I have learned a lot from reading the messages here.
I recently became aware of a proposed tax in PA (didn't see it discussed in a search). The current proposal House Bill 1392 was put forth by my local representative (D- Mike Carroll) and will charge a $250 yearly tax on Electric vehicles, there is a $75 tax on hybrids (Not sure where they try to slot the Prime), and a $50 tax on EV motorcycles and neighborhood vehicles.
I understand all vehicles need to pay their fare share. I have written to my local representative, senator; also the Lt. Governor, and Governor to voice my displeasure with the proposal. I stated that the state has the information to institute a road maintenance fee based upon weight and mileage as the state has both data points through annual inspections and registration information. If implemented, PA could drop the gas tax which is the highest in the nation and have an equitable... -
Tesla applies for patents for improved batteries
The article states that additives can double the number of cycles while keeping the battery capacity at 95%. His goal was a million mile battery. I wouldn't be that he won't achieve it.

EV savings calculator
Can anyone recommend a good online calculator (or shared spreadsheet etc) for working out the potential savings or payback period of an electric car?
I've seached the web and I have found several calculators, but they all seem woefully inadequate. So far none are accounting for registration & insurance costs, which are turning out to be substantial for some EVs in some states & provinces.

Ontario now fining drivers $125 for ICEing a charging spot
Great news!
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/electric-vehicle-parking-fine-1.5394288
Also applies to EVs parked and not charging. I guess that means you can’t leave a sign saying “unplug me if needed” anymore, or you could run the risk of getting fined after someone unplugs you?
Great news nonetheless. -
ICE vs BEV pricing
Several good points in this recent article. One notable point for me - “Yes, the plug-in hybrids or all-electric vehicles do cost more, but typically what the automakers have done is stagger their pricing, so that the high-end, all-gasoline version will be not too much less than the entry-level electric version,” Klippenstein said. “Almost no one really buys the bare-bones combustion version. And realizing that there’s a higher price point, automakers tend to stuff in more features for hybrids.”
