Separate names with a comma.
Agreed .. we don't know when solid state will be available at an affordable price and Toyota is not likely to use unless they can get the cost...
Yes to make a PHEV for a non SUV, you need to remove the spare. If there is a subsidy then it should not be much more than a hybrid.
This makes sense because Toyota would not release it in Aqua unless they were confident it would work well and its likely to be ultimately...
OK the new Toyota ones don't have tanks ... here are the description & diagrams from the patent filing. 100 - The bipolar electrode plate 100...
That patent provides great information ... and gives you an insight into their long term plannings as the patent process started in 2016 and...
The patent illustrates the battery being held together by bolted metal plates or sealed in a metal case .. so presumably the new physical...
Yes looks like its 27kW for Gen 3 and Gen 2 is only 20kW limited by DC-DC converter. It would be interesting to see specs for the new Aqua.
Thanks ... fixed
Good point .. yes I did not consider peak power. My calculation was based on battery capacity and not battery power. According to Priups.com,...
So do Tesla's only offer one pedal ? ... or can they do regeneration through the brake pedal ?
Yes my mistake as I forgot the 1/2. So it's 0.063 kWh or 7%, In normal traffic that energy will be spent accelerating again .. so it can be...
Regenerative braking has always been a core component of Toyota hybrids. Assuming the Aqua weighs 1200kg and is travelling at 70km/h ... it has...
On the new Aqua, the single pedal mode (Power+ Mode) is a configurable by the driver, so the 'brake blender' hardware is still required for Normal...
OK so that is interesting and supports the theory that the decision on which battery to use is about supply and cost. Maybe the Li-Ion that was...
Yes your Gen 3 Prius sounds like a bad battery, although it may be that they did a software update to fix a parasitic drain problem at the same...
Yes supply lines, expertise and NiMH production will also be important factors. It will be interesting to see whether this new battery replaces...
Toyota's have to be simple, low cost and work well in all environments .. so maybe NIMH is overall better at meeting that goal.
I think that for small hybrid batteries, NiMH must be comparable or cheaper than Li-Ion otherwise Toyota would not have developed a new NiMH...
Agreed .. so for Prius they would probably got for 8-9 seconds ...
Yes Toyota keep their cards close to their chest and so its not always easy to understand their strategy. I came across a US research paper from...
