Thanks Nick@PriusG909 , and glad to learn the $19 timer from Amazon works!

 

Prius plug-in Nexcell battery weekly report - 4/9/2023

Hi Everyone, just here with an update! @jacktheripper

date range: 4/2 - 4/9
number of EV charging: 3.5
distance travelled: 512.4
gas filled up: 9.084
computer calculated MPG: 60mpg
pump calculated MPG: 56.4mpg

This time around I did a little bump charge on free public charging. Also, Ive been a little more heavy on the throttle than I
normally drive.

Thanks Jack!!

 

How does the new battery perform if you go uphill or have a high demand? Currently i have around 120m elevation on a 2km stretch, which uses around 50% of the available range in minutes.

 

9/18/2023 update -
so far around 20K miles with Nexcell Prius plug-in battery pack, pure EV range stays between 23~27 miles, sometime gets to 30+ miles in good weather. Production has begun and pre-order will start end of October, first batch will arrive in November 2023. Exciting time!!

 

How much?

 

Just need more capacity now! I want at least 50kWh battery and it utilizes the footprint of the OE modules.

2013 Prius Plug-In PHEV Lithium battery upgrade from 4.4kWh to 8.8kWh. #Prius #priuslife #battery - YouTube

 

anyone want to buy my pip so you can put this mod in?

 

does it have the advanced tech package with heads up display and dynamic cruise? LED headlights? heated seats and all?

 

nope, just a base model

 

ahh, just send it to the scrap yard! hahaha i kid i kid

 

well, not the scrap heap yet, but i will be trading it soon, hopefully.

 

Which Prius Plugin is this for? It doesn't look like the display in my 2017 Prius Prime.

 

don't worry .... you know the stealership is going to give you a fair trade in price

 

if they buy it without driving it, the laugh will be on them, or whoever buys it at auction

 

This is a long-awaited new product on the hybrid car market

 

.... and less cylinders than many motorcycles .... a 3 banger IIRC ?
Wonder what the overall 1800 lb would increase to if one were to put a 50kwh traction back in it. or, how much can its chassis &/or brakes/steering safely handle.
.

 

looks like a Pip....the first generation of a PriusPHEV from toyota

 

Thanks, should have been posted in the Gen 1 Prius Plug-in 2012-2015 forum then I believe.

 

why wouldn't it work for those cars beyond 2015 ?

 

Whole different battery I think?
