The design supported it but facts like this one show the Prius Plugin feature is an afterthought. quote: That requires a higher trunk floor,...
The Prius PHV doesn't exist in the marketplace. (I'm quite sure you are very familiar with the term vaporware, that's what the Prius PHV is now)....
All signs point to Toyota dropping the ball on the Prius Plug in. They had prototypes since 2007 (!!), had delays due to battery problems , and...
Volt is going on ?
Speeds ? 20 ft is one car length so you can't be going more than 10 mph or so...
The vehicles with high mileage in a relatively short time are precisely those which do not stress the battery since high mileage indicate a high...
Those anecdotes are just as valid as the 299999 battery ones someone posted, I don't hear you complaining about the latter posts.
In other words, it depends. Regardless of how well the ECU tries to optimize the charging rate, ultimately it's the driver and the running...
Yes, no test is perfect. The TG test is as contrived against the Prius as the EPA fuel economy test loop is against the M3. I mean, who drives...
Here's more anecdotal "evidence" http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-prius-main-forum/90178-yeah-my-traction-battery-finally-died.html#post1267638
Unless the Prius has a legal speed limiter, it is definitely not a waste of testing time to see how well it performs at 66, 70 or even (horrors)...
After 20 pages of posts, it's odd no one has proposed any hypothesis.
Does the MG1 act as a starter for the ICE ?
Care to quantify that ? Don't some fail at just past 100K ? It depends.
You missed the point. In the test, the Prius was necessarily driven hard so it can meet the lap times of the M3. Nothing was contrived, no...
These are NiMh batteries, how long do your NiMh AA batteries last ? The answer is it depends....
On the contrary, it's a totally valid comparison when the laptimes are kept the same.
A MPG test with the IS at 10:30 lap times would be a lot more interesting.
Just a few threads down, someone's being charged 3-4K for a new battery at 101K miles. I think he's better off paying for a new one.
A lot of people confuse power with torque. How well does the Prius' TCS control torque ?
