Hi all, I guess I can release these ones to you guys now, I released it in my forum almost a month ago and I never saw it here on PriusChat: Exclusivo mundial: Painel de instrumentos do Prius PHV - Prius-PT These are the dashboard instruments and displays for the new 3G PHV Prius concept car which is rolling now on the streets starting this week. Have fun, and do use google translate to translate Portuguese to English if you want to understand a bit of what is being said there.
Excellent. So, it looks like the driver will have a button where they can choose EV versus HV mode. Excellent. One more thing that I hope it has is a "blend" mode, in which instead of driving all EV for 15 miles, and then HV after that, it would instead run in HV mode the whole time, except the electric motor would play a much more significant role than in the normal Prius (media articles mentioned such a feature - I hope it's true). (it appears that this website is the Portuguese analogue to Prius Chat ) Wow - this works really well http://translate.google.com/translate Jprates, here's a little something for you guys too: http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-h...ehicle-13-mile-range-1-5-hour-recharge-9.html http://www.carview.co.jp/green/report/photo_imp/toyota_prius_plugin_hv/91/ .
No button at all, sorry, but as Ken has already pointed out quite well, we really don't need it. Indeed, that was my main motivation when I created it some years ago. We needed a forum in Portuguese language like PC. Thank you very much! I have posted it on Prius-PT just now.
