Hi all, Can someone describe the charging light in the charge port of the Prime? I've searched the owner's manual etc. but can't seem to figure...
And that's the real annoying subtlety with the Volt... The engine starts regardless of whether or not heat is asked for, if you're below that...
Doesn't the PiP run the engine whenever heat is requested, regardless of outside temperature? What happens when it's under 15F, is the Volt...
Correct (and sorry for the late response). On the Volt the driver can configure the car to prevent the ICE from starting when it's plugged in...
Thanks all, I appreciate it! cproaudio reached out to me as well and provided me all the details I needed. Back to the fun tech talk about...
Has anyone seen Danny? I'm interested in working with him to make some Plug-in Prius Charging Reference Magnets available through the Prius Shop...
I precondition whenever possible. Gotta love a warm car when it's freezing out. ;)
I think the Leaf already lists $28k in the table that I see. Am I looking at the wrong cell?
Somms, that's not what this thread suggests: Battery heating DOES depend on ambient temperature/sensor I know you posted in here as well. Was...
And that's the important thing to note. Volt does the same thing. Leaf does not have nearly as much of a buffer. I'm not sure of the other...
This is a great summary, thanks for putting it together! I'm not sure how recently it's been updated (2/21/13? 3/4/13?), but I know the latest...
You'll see a big improvement once temperatures warm. I did a lot of cold weather Lithium Ion battery testing in the past. The ability to extract...
This is a nice article discussing Lithium Ion battery life. While it's not for the PiP, the point should be that, when done right, the lifetime...
I only know of one or two Volt owners that have done this. Many agree with you (including myself) about not unintentionally breaking something....
Thanks for the clarification. It's possible that, when the battery is cold, the Prius engineers don't want to extract too much capacity from it....
The vehicle is intelligent about handling charging. You can plug it in, have it charge immediately, and not worry about overcharging. This is...
In the Volt's case, there are many battery temperature sensors internally, and this single temperature sensor "only" controls the ERDTT and driver...
I agree as well. The best thing to do if you're looking to upgrade is to have a sub-panel in the garage for 240V power that comes from your main...
Okay thanks. I have a co-worker with a PiP so I may have a look at his sometime when the weather changes and start a thread on it. I'd love to...
I wonder if the PiP has a higher output? The Volt's DC to DC converter is capable of 175 amps which allows for a 1500W inverter to be used with...
