While getting all the extension cord stuff (separate thread), I did look for ice scrapers too and was told by the big box stores it was too early...
John1701a: Very cool on a 2000 Gen1, I got a 2003 Gen1 and just gave it away when getting this Gen5. Great car that still works! My favorite...
I got my Prime about a month ago and will be starting a 5,000 mile trip in about a month. The manual is disappointing on break-in advice, looking...
John1701a (Hopefully a Star Trek reference!): That looks pretty cool! I'm already pretty distracted looking at what the car itself offers, but...
Blackat: I think we were driving around in the same storm! :) It wasn't nearly as bad in the Keystone/Loveland Pass area though. I got the...
Yep, I had my Prime in the Colorado Mountains this past week, so got to use heat for the first time. I got snow and ice at the hotel parking lot...
Good Question REBobBecker! Alas this is a nuance thing, so you will get a range of opinions. I doubt there is much debate that charging slower...
As much as I really wanted the yellow color only available in the EU and Japan, no way I'd put up with that feature to get the color! Clearly a...

The Extension cord, Prius Cable, and Charge Controller: No surprise that the charge controller is the hottest thing. Not posted here, but I took...
The Wall and Kill-a-watt: By way of context, I'm using a consumer grade IR camera. It is decent, but probably not industrial-grade accurate....
OK, I did go out and get an extension cord and protector and gathered a round of data. This post will be the numbers then a series of posts with...
fuzzy1: It is a pretty drive and it was a pretty day after 2-ish days of cruddy mucky snow/slush. The call to take the pass was dependent on the...
Thanks HacksawMark, I think I am going to go the same as you, a nice name brand 25 foot, 12 gauge cord. I'll plan on instrumenting it as much as...
Just a fun post: My wife had a conference in Keystone CO, so an excuse to see how the car does crossing the continental divide. Compared to any...
