Do you know where I can find their experimentation and cesults?
I think I'm getting a handle on the operation differences between a PHV vs an HV, especially one with such a large HP difference. Maybe it's the...
You're right, most of the time EV modes covers most of the day's needs, but there are the occasional trip that's 80 or 90 miles round trip. I've...
Of course, but when EV mode runs out, you're back in hybrid operation again, which is the question of how much of either powertrain to focus on.
I guess when the engine is that efficient, it's not too much of a loss to treat it as a generator when putzing around town. Something to ponder.
I preface to say I do like my Rav4 PHV all things considered, it's great at doing city driving and swapping seamlessly for family vacations....
For sure, if it works it works. On my part I'd like to know the specifics of why so I can adapt my approach (the how) in varying conditions like...
I ask because the Longer glide = better mph explanation almost always seems to have lower average speeds, so I'm not sure if the actual lesson to...
Most descriptions of PnG recommend a speed delta of at least 10 mph, can someone explain why? Shouldn't a short pulse + short glide be roughly...
Yup battery's happier. MPG better too, to my surprise, though maybe I shouldn't be.
That's fair, I've often been using about 1 tick of EV since I've heard a little bit of use is better than a little bit of regen, and also Ken from...
I'm pretty sure it's not the 12V draining the traction battery, though admittedly it is quite old now. During regular steady state cruising, the...
I agree, though there's not much choice in the matter if the car wants to recharge. If the light is red, then you have to charge while stationary....
