Separate names with a comma.
The artificial shift points maybe are for those who don't like a constant tone. Logically keeping engine at constant optimum RPM for either best...
No I think Consumer Reports estimates do a better job of modeling that. EPA city cycle braking profile is still much gentler than typical American...
Let's hope stated improvements translate into real meaningful, measurable results on efficiency, performance, noise and comfort. I could never...
They brake harder, like "normal" people.
No. Anything above 6 kW to 20 kW (depending on HV battery conditions) is dissipated as heat due to friction braking. MG2 is rated at 60 kW so...
The Gen III when braking can only put anything from 5-19 kW back into the traction battery depending on battery temperature/condition/SOC with...
Switching to PWR mode at least in the 2010 model does give the most refined motor to engine transition. I just got a 2012 Camry Hybrid and it...
I think you meant Amp-hr or Ahr or A*hr , amp/hr or amps per hour wouldn't make sense for battery capacity. For example a 60 Ahr battery would...
@miscrms Thanks this is type of info I was looking for.
@David Beale Thanks for the info. So regarding the original question does the amount of HV battery energy accessible generally speaking decline...
What I'm basically asking is, does the actual accessible kW-hrs for the HV battery decrease as the number of charge/discharge cycles increases. So...
I find the engine sounds more refined for whatever reason when using PWR mode when accelerating fast from a stop, possibly due to a modified...
If you remember to change to a low specific heat fluid in the winter and a high specific heat fluid in the summer it may be beneficial. If the...
I suspect when accelerating faster with MG1 at say -20 kW is overall just about as efficient as accelerating slowly with MG1 at -10 kW, for...
@usbseawolf2000 Has anyone quantified the if the power losses via the electrical path in heretical mode are equivalent to the power losses in the...
Actually the issue with conventional cars is that they're more likely to cause the wheels to spin due to their peaky power delivery. Google "Tesla...
In hot weather, if one has the Torque OBD Android app, you can set the HV battery intake fan to full speed (level 6), this will draw cool air from...
What helps if waiting at a red that's about to turn to green, is have the left foot on the brake, and your right foot slightly touching the...
I contend that the Prius accelerates like a V8 from 0-15 mph, like a V6 from 15-30 mph, and like a 4 cylinder from 30 mph onwards? Also at any...
It becomes a game of finding high probability "not having to brake" opportunities where all that acceleration goes to productive use, and looking...
