MG 1 starts the gasoline engine and charges the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery, while MG2 drives the front wheels and regenerates the battery during braking and coasting, and MGR drives the rear wheels and also regenerates the battery. EV runs solely on electricity for about a half mile and/or only up-to 25 miles per hour.

A new nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) battery is used with a revised construction and more compact cooling system that allows for smaller dimensions overall. miles) ahead. Beyond that point, any additional, regenerated energy could not be recovered, effectively wasting it.

The acceleration was significantly better than my RAV, no doubt due to the Li-Ion battery pack weighing about 400-500 lbs less than the Toyota’s NiMH pack. This is the same with gas cars, too, but so much energy is wasted with internal combustion that most people don’t care about the loss from extra weight.

The MINI’s range is said to be 150 miles. Anything more is wasted in my opinion. This is probably because, unlike NiMH batteries, LiIon doesn’t like being fully depleted or fully charged. This is exactly the distance I consider to be the sweet spot for an EV. As for the 35 kWh pack, I was told only 28 kWh is usable.

Waste material from the construction of the 2010 Prius generator—most likely center cuttings from production of the generator’s stamped steel stator plates—is reused in the construction of the electric motor that drives the vehicle’s air conditioning compressor.). The pack is warranted for 10 years/150,000 miles. Battery pack.

A PHEV with only a 20-mile all-electric range is 62% lower (see printed page 95 in the 2004 study ). At $3 for a gallon of gas, driving a non-hybrid car costs 8-20 cents/mile (depending on MPG). With a PHEV, your electric local travel drops to as little as 2-4 cents/mile. Using the average U.S. Using the average U.S.
