Separate names with a comma.
I've never heard a beep like that. Sure, it beeps when you reverse, but that's just Toyota's way of reminding you that you have engaged reverse...
That is the equation for the Gen-II Prius which vincent1449p quotes: MG2 = (30/78) * ((18/5) * Engine - MG1) which equates to MG1 = (18/5) * ICE -...
I would think A/C switch is faulty.
I never said it was a charger. All I said was that a 150W powersupply will start the car. I left the charging of the battery to the car.
Well, in this case it was an old ATX computer powersupply. So it also was quite stable at 12V and not the 14+V that a charger gives off.
I know a 150W powersupply does the trick. Not sure if AA batteries are powerfull enough.
On 1): Toyota (and everybody here) advises against it. If you want to go ahead at your own risk, the 12V battery is in the trunk on the right...
You're right, the speed is displayed by the speedometer, and that is the one that has a misread.
IDK if it is for all european Prii, but the ones with km/h odometer have a big misread of the speed. 100 km/h indicated is only 94 km/h in real...
I have gone off-road in the Harz aera in Germany. No pictures to post ATM but I scraped the bottom a few times too and I had one occasion where I...
I had mine empty yesterday and with some wiggling (maybe because my driveway is at an angle and the front of the car is lower there remains some...
Way to go! The $20k budget you mention, what more than just the panels and the inverter do you get for that? It works out to about $2,56/Wp, here...
Oh my, that i3 really is ugly as f... But it's a BMW and that's all that counts I guess. :whistle:
It not only seems like that, it is like that. The only way the ICE turns is by having it run with gasoline or making it turn using MG2. In order...
Are you sure you can use the 400 lb.ft of the MG2 like that? Since there is a reduction in the PSD between the MG2 and the ICE, the 400 lb.ft of...
I will remember to keep an eye on this next time I drive in the mountains.
Not true. The fact that the Prius will start turning the engine all of its own when going downhill (when you don't press the throttle or...
It should do it exactly the same way. Have you ever driven longer stretches downhill and observed the battery indicator to be at maximum?
The term regenerative braking has always been used for the Prius to describe the fact that you brake by using the MG2. And it is regenerative...
