Separate names with a comma.
Indeed, the Prius configuration multiplies rpm's from the traction motor to the motor/generator while in the Volt they are decoupled. Of course,...
Is the manual separately purchased ?
The Euro Volt's are variants for higher speeds. Totally agree. I would rather have Toyota take more design risks than play it safe by adding on...
Here's another comparison point. Video 1 shows the lack of traction control in the Prius. [media] Here's the Volt YouTube - Volt Handling in Snow
So drivetrain is identical then. The use of 91 octane in the Edmund test is unnecessary.
Oh, you are really trying too hard... how do you make a heavier car go faster ?
Makes sense, perhaps in Sport mode, it will be quicker. Interesting link. What is the author referring to here ? quote: An important difference...
The engine requires premium as well. Presumably, that's to increase power and improve power delivery.
Yes, the selection of 1 speed EV transmissions says a lot about the state of the art in EV drivetrain designs. BTW does the Leaf manual warn of...
Excuse me ? I'm not the one claiming the Prius has a 50mpg ICE.
More numbers you are quoting there which I have not seen anywhere else, 80kW ? 80KW is plenty of power for 100kph.
So the Prius ICE efficiency is not 50mpg as quoted, there is always some measure of power from the EE. That would makes sense since 50mpg is high...
Where is that ICE mpg from ? I have never seen a test of the Prius PHV with battery completely discharged. You mean the Prius PHV's EE is sized...
Since 60kW is plenty for 60mph driving, that power level would not the limiting factor. However, given the following specs with ICE at 98hp ,...
The Leaf motor has 207 lbft direct drive which seems enough to spin the wheels with no damage. The Prius MG2's torque is in the same ballpark so...
Lots of threads on this... http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-prius-main-forum/88450-prius-dangerous-vehicle-in-snow.html
This is quite brain dead as well. What's the limiting factor preventing full EV operation at all throttle levels ? quote: If driven with care,...
Even the maintenance and repair costs seem high for a new vehicle over 4 years/36K miles. Why ? quote: average lifetime maintenance and repair...
What's the mileage of the Prius running with 0% battery ?
Depreciation costs are still "dollars and cents" in the real world.
