Don't be afraid to use the seat heaters. They only draw about 100W total for both on high. Or 0.5 amps as measured by my ScanGauge II. Keep in...
Having driven a rental Corolla, I'd say the PiP/Prius is a much better car. Better features, standard or otherwise. More comfortable. Better...
I set the Leaf to a battery of 3.2 kWh. With a max speed of 62 mph and an eco setting of 0, I get 10.5 miles of EV range. With a max speed of 72...
In the summer I was getting between 10.5 and 11 miles of EV range. Though you were clearly able to exceed the 9 mile estimate that the car was...
I took a look at that. I constructed my route, added the volt, tweaked a few numbers and it shows that the Volt barely makes it if I do less...
I may have had a couple of more steep hills to contend with than Jeff did.
Unfortunately, I never got a chance to fully charge the Volt for the commute home. This was something I suspected would happen, and happens a lot...
The charger in the PiP is 2.2 kW, not 3.3 kW. Though at 120V, they both charge at about a 1.2 kW rate. . If I can only get a partial charge at...
Jeff and I have swapped our cars back. Here's my thoughts on this little experiment we did: Before I test drove a Volt (Jeff's, in fact), I had...
For the purposes of this swap, I don't think an Advanced model PiP would've made much difference. For me, it was more about seeing what the...
Todays commute to work: 45.4 miles total. 35.4 EV miles, 10 gas miles. 0.26 gallons used.
I've noticed that same thing. In the PiP my distance to work is 46.0 miles. In the Volt, it's 45.3 miles. I'd have to measure the actual distance...
I was unable to get a charge at all today at work, and no charge at all on the way home. This is not uncommon for me given the charging situation...
It came from a posting by usbseawolf2000 above who said the EPA numbers for the PiP were 3.2 kWh & 0.3 miles to go 25 miles. And you had asked how...
I disabled it myself via the Scan Gauge. Otherwise the dealership has to do it.
3.2 kWh and 0.3 gallons to go 25 miles means that the gas engine was on at some point during the 25 mile drive. The engine may have been on in a...
Given that I don't normally do stacking with the PiP, I'm not likely to try with the Volt.
This morning's commute started out with a full charge of 36 miles. By the time I got to work I had gone 45.6 miles total. 36 of that were EV...
I haven't tried mountain mode, and probably won't have time to try it out.
You'll probably hear a couple of different noises when driving at slow speeds. One is the electric motor whine, and the other is the pedestrian...
