I agree. I used to get about 30 mpg in my old car (a non-Prius) and now, with a Plug-in Prius, I get close to 150 mpg. (And that's not really...
ocd= ?
Only recently have I started choosing HV mode earlier (warming up the ICE long before I've run out of EV). Part of the reason I think I waited...
I had seen the defogger on the passenber side of my PiP before, but I had never thought about the fact that it is ONLY on the passenger side...
But, if he does have a short commute, then he could probably drive a majority of the miles gas-free with the PiP.
It's easy to forget that the efficientcy improvements in the EV system with warm temperatures also applies to the EV portion of the HV battery...
Most people think about buying the PiP because of the efficiency and fun of driving in EV mode. The HV mode doesn't get the credit it...
I voted in the 13.0-13.4 mile category but, with the warm weather, my estimated full charge range is growing higher and is now over 14 miles....
Forgive me if I am misunderstanding, but if some of your 18 to 20 miles of EV were generated via pulsing and braking then they really shouldn't...
That's what I meant to say (but I guess I didn't convey that very well). :)
I think I might have been in tears... So sorry to hear you were probably the first. I hate parking lots. I usually try to park far away from...
The more I drive my car in warm weather (finally we are again warming up in Minnesota), the more I think that a warm battery and warm EV system...
Naturally, I would be using the charging timer (and only charging right before I plan to go home). However, when it is warm and sunny, I know from...
The manual specifically states that it is not good to leave the PiP battery , charged and sitting in the hot sun. But what I am to do when I...
Maybe this is true for all car's headlights, but I've never of it before: If you want to flash your headlights at someone, you don't need to turn...
I agree. I have often heard that the incentive for 'green cars' just allow the rich to pay less for leading technology cars. In my mind, however,...
I must admit, John, I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or serious when you were complaining about not using up your full EV charge (in HV...
This is the best advice I've seen. (But I expect to 'just do it' sometime, plugging in without asking, too). :)
My guess would be that it depends how much of the HV mode EV charge remained when he recharged. With a warm engine, you can still drive further in...
Agreed! I haven't done the same thing yet, but I'm sure I will eventually. Just having to pack/unpack it once per day makes the EVSE installed in...
