As far as I know. I can tell you that it's easy to generate 60+% SOC in 20 minutes going down a steep grade. That's a charge rate of ~11kW. As...
That's not how probability works. The probability of event y happening don't change just because it happened to you. If there's a one in a 100,000...
I think we're hobbled by what appears to be the car's charging limit of 3.3kW. It seems as though the electricity generated in CHG mode is fed...
This is good data. We can verify if somebody has an ODBII monitor that allows them to see how much current is flowing in to the battery. We know...
I forgot to add that the temperature during my experiment was 85°F, so it may explain some of the difference.
I'm still trying to think of a way with more signal to noise ratio. Even given the preliminary results of our tests, I can see the possibility...
I was finally able to run one trial today. Started out in the driveway with 26% SOC. Started CHG mode. The instant it flipped from 26% to 27% I...
Opposite here (expected). I think most times I go out driving I see at least 2. In the parking garage at work I usually see 6 or 7 of them any...
I'm not worried about driving it. I'm worried about wasting the miles and energy.
I plan on doing the same, but I have to wait until I discharge my battery pack. I charged to 100% Saturday thinking I was taking a trip that was...
You drive from parked to 1.0 miles in EV, thus the only gas used was charging in the driveway. Boom! No variability in mpg. Pressing the HV button...
You should be able to eliminate most of the variation by driving that mile in EV mode and pressing the HV button right at the 1-mile mark. All the...
That's what I would expect if CHG mode put the ICE into its most efficient loading and then treated it as a constant source of power, i.e., the...
So do I, as stated earlier. For reasons I've already explained, I'm willing to bet a good chunk of change that Toyota's engineers didn't overlook...
As far as I know we can't directly get the gas consumption or electrical generation statistics from the car itself, but I think there's a little...
Generating 7kW is putting the ICE under load. With 90% efficiency, 7 kW will require about 12% of full load.
There is no idling. The engine is powering a generator, presumably at the maximum allowable power since it doesn't need to power anything else. If...
Larger engines can be more efficient when they're putting out more power, but that doesn't necessarily help us. A Diesel train locomotive is...
The larger a generator gets, the less efficient it becomes in terms of kWh per gallon, in commercially available generators I can find anyway. 20%...
It doesn't matter if you engage CHG mode once or 6,000 times, if CHG mode is to best HV mode for efficiency the extra gas consumed by CHG mode...
