Separate names with a comma.
Apparently there's a spot (at 6 miles) that represents higher power demand (such as driving up a hill or accelerating on ramp); the pip can't...
As I understand it: It does, but that's not why. (The engine can help with propulsion when the driving speed is steady, for efficiency...
Since the number of miles you get varies based on conditions/who's driving, EPA numbers: 11 miles / 1.5 hours = 7.3 mi/hr 38 miles / 4 hours = 9.5...
There are lots of ratings... MPG (total miles/gallons) - gives you how much you're driving vs how much gas you're using, so someone who runs...
Yes, exactly! Energy is in fuel. Electricity is another form of energy, and is harnessed another way. Even if they are different forms, fuel,...
That might mean that relevant policies treat it as if it were an alternative fuel (as it reduces the use of the fuel it is considered an...
Well, electricity is not a fuel. It may have been generated from fuel, but it in and of itself is not fuel. People might not be aware of where...
I'm not sure what your well to wheel numbers include, or for that matter what your electric numbers include... Efficiency for finding, drilling,...
So your numbers are effectively as if you had switched cars en route, and mention the values for both cars separately? Sure, the leaf might not be...
Long distance trip aside, I don't know if that assumption can be made... EPA ratings for the leaf are higher. (The engine running does drag the...
As I understand it, prices in the US are artificially low to begin with... and even at the typical prices in other countries that don't do that/as...
And what if another Leaf owner came up and also needed the charge to make it back? If you both NEED it, who wins? What if another BEV owner that...
The 70 mph is an arbitrary example. I hear it can lock on as low as 35 mph. As I understand it, the volt has 4 internal driving modes,...
You can probably expect the pip to offer MPG values a little higher than a regular prius (the bigger battery can accept more regen, and faster)....
If you don't plug it in, it'll be much like a regular prius except with a bigger battery. You'll want to plug it in if you want to take advantage...
pfft, I walked a mile outside yesterday, and it was colder than that :P (Temps yesterday supposedly were 14 to 23F in Clawson, and -8 to 16F here)
You'll never get "free" miles out of the car. What you can get is miles that would otherwise be wasted in another car. eg, a regular gas car...
I'd imagine that their objective is more so to avoid (or at least reduce) gas usage than save $. For some, it turns into a game after all.
In all fairness, you'd likely have "Leaf beating" fuel economy in a leaf also.
Well, it's a derived measurement: 22/58 = .379 gallons 22/102 = .216 gallons total 44 miles/ .595 gallons = 74 MPG or, to go with a different...
