You need to remove from the post the negative terminal that connects to the body and insert the ammeter in its place between the negative post and...
Around here in LA County, everyone has dark tint. You can’t see the inside of the cars at all at night.
The Gen 4/Gen 5 12-V battery will usually be fine for most people if the car is driven regularly—meaning at least for one hour each time a few...
The 8" screen is pretty big as well. When I sat in a Gen 5 XSE at the dealer showroom while waiting for an oil change, I thought the screen was...
In that case, you should hook up a battery maintainer once a week, as you lose about 2.3% SOC everyday. Noco Genius can be left hooked up...
Mr. Bisco is correct. These new cars don't really need break-in to get good mpg. I got mine with four miles on it, and the mpg was stellar from...
That is exactly the point—you don't have a problem until you have one. ;)
They shouldn't be a problem. Get a Bluetooth BM2 battery monitor from Amazon or at least a cigarette-lighter voltmeter. The BMS on Gen 4/Gen 5 is...
EPA rates the 2020 Prius at 52 mpg and the 2024 Prius LE at 57 mpg. So, according to EPA, they should be getting 60 mpg with their driving style.
Or driving in the B mode with engine braking.
Simply raise the seat and lower the steering wheel, and you'll see everything. 40 mpg does not sound right. Perhaps you are miscalculating it? I...
It is going to be a lot cheaper and more practical to trade in the car for one with the features you want. That's why I've traded in my 2020 XLE...
Sulfation can start at any SOC below 100%, but it gets worse and worse with decreasing SOC. I would say you should start worrying if the SOC falls...
There shouldn't be any fire to begin with. How do you divide a BEV into individual compartments? Typically the BMS and other safety features will...
LOL I am not trying to persuade you to do or not do anything. Do or not do whatever you want. I am telling you that I am not disabling my DCM for...
It is going to cost you a lot and several weeks in the shop, as new bumper covers come unpainted. I hope you don’t have parking sensors—then it...
Hmm, battery issues related to the DCM seem to be virtually an urban legend. I don’t think I have had any. Without the DCM, navigation, traffic...
Oops. :eek:
While the lithium-ion battery technology is advancing, clearly more is needed on the safety side. Flare-up at massive Northern California...
Not just knowledge—but also experience with such long-vacation situations with my Gen 4 PHEV. The first few times the battery was still alive, but...
