| − | == Enabling EV-mode Button "H14 #27 to ground" ==
| |
| − | The EV-Mode Button is a standard part of the Japan and EU Prius but was not installed in the US versions, perhaps because of extended warranties in Ca due to AT-PZEV regulations and qualifications criteria. The US Prius is still entirely aware of the EV-Mode though it can never get the signal or command to enter or exit the mode because a wire, light and button are missing. EV-Mode is a very ''enlightening'' feature as it ''encourages'' the Prius to stay in it's electric mode for far longer than it normally would.
| |
| − | It will normally drive 1 to 2 miles and up to 3 miles on a fully charged battery, after which it must restart the engine and use gassoline to recharge the battery.
| |
| − | It is not a good idea to fully cycle the battery often as this decreases any batteries life and is not helpfull for mileage if use improperly. If used correctly is can be advantagious for times when you know you won't need to start the engine. It's also fun for showing off and offers a small glimps of the potential of electric vehicles.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | The ev-mode funcion itself is activated and deactivated by grounding the H14 #27 pin on the HV ECU located behind the glove box(s).
| |
| − | [http://www.coastaletech.com CoastalTech.com] <!--(321 727 8457)-->(ph) has a well intigrated 3-wire EV-Button kit with easy instructions or [http://www.calcars.org/prius-evbutton-install.pdf calcars.org] and [http://www.vfaq.net/mods/EV-button-Y.html vfaq.net] have more information for "do it yourself" kind of people like me. I'm looking for the steering pad wire diagram as I'de like to use the recirculation button as the ev-button, but it's probably not a simple ground.

| − | Four things that cancel EV-Mode.
| |
| − | * Battery reaches 2 out of 8 battery bars worth of charge.
| |
| − | * Speed reaches 34mph.
| |
| − | ** EV-only driving regularly occures even at freeway speeds when there is ample battery energy.
| |
| − | * Accellerator peddle is depressed more than half to 3/4 of the way down.
| |
| − | * Pushing EV-Mode button.
| |

| − | Things you need to add the feature.
| |
| − | * '''22 guage wire''', about 6 feet.

| |
| − | * Soldering may be required.

| |
| − | * [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/priusplus/message/495 Regarding your warranty]
| |
| − | ** http://www.sema.org/main/semaorghome.aspx?ID=50096
| |
| − | ***Federal law sets forth requirements for warranties and contains a number of provisions to prevent vehicle manufacturers, dealers and others from unjustly denying warranty coverage. With regard to aftermarket parts, the spirit of the law is that warranty coverage cannot be denied simply because such parts are present on the vehicle, or have been used(see Attachment A).The warranty coverage can be denied only if the aftermarket part caused the malfunction or damage for which warranty coverage is sought. Disputes in this area usually boil down to arguments over facts and technical opinions, rather than arguments over interpretations of the law.
| |
| − | ** http://www.sema.org/Main/SemaOrgHome.aspx?ID=50100 Attachment A
| |
| − | *** 1.The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))<BR> This federal law regulates warranties for the protection of consumers. The essence of the law concerning aftermarket auto parts is that a vehicle manufacturer may not condition a written or implied warranty on the consumers using parts or services which are identified by brand, trade, or corporate name (such as the vehicle maker's brand) unless the parts or service are provided free of charge. The law means that the use of an aftermarket part alone is not cause for denying the warranty. However, the law's protection does not extend to aftermarket parts in situations where such parts actually caused the damage being claimed under the warranty. Further, consumers are advised to be aware of any specific terms or conditions stated in the warranty which may result in its being voided. The law states in relevant part:<BR>No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name... (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)).
| |
| − | *** 2. Clean Air Act Warranty Provisions (42 U.S.C. S 7541 (C) (3) (B))<BR>The federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle makers to provide two emissions-related warranties -- a production warranty and a performance warranty. Theproduction warrantyrequires the vehicle maker to warrant that the vehicle is designed, built and equipped so that it conforms with emissions requirements at the time of sale. Theperformance warranty requires the vehicle maker to warrant that the vehicle will comply with applicable emissions requirements as tested under state vehicle emissions inspection programs for the warranty periods specified in the law (for model year 1995 and later vehicles, the warranty is 2 years/24,000 miles for all emissions-related parts and 8 years/80,000 miles for the catalytic converter, electronic emissions control unit and on-board diagnostic device). The performance warranty is conditioned on the vehicle being properly maintained and operated.<BR>Like the Magnuson-Moss Act, vehicle manufacturers may not refuse warranty repairs under the Clean Air Acts performance and defect warranties merely because aftermarket parts have been installed on the vehicle. The only circumstance under which the vehicle manufacturer can void the emissions warranties is if an aftermarket part is responsible for (causes) the warranty claim.

| − | == Enabling even more Electric Vehicle features ==
| |
| − | Those features which you may associate with Hybrids may actually be electric vehicle features such as no idleing, quiet opperation, and regenerative braking.
| |
| − | Unfortunently as of yet many of the greatest aspects of battery electric vehicles, or BEVs are not available in current Hybrids.
| |
| − | The EV-Button still doesn't allow you to recharge the batteries with electricity from a fuel source of your choice. Though it does hold the potential of a fuel choice which is already widely available and potentially renewable. By Plugging-In to an electrical outlet you can dramatically improve your ''gas'' mileage. The Grid is far more capable of supporting a large number of BEVs or PHEVs before it would require additional capacity, in fact it may help to ''ballance'' the grid.

| − | I can see both sides of the argument, some prefer to consider the electric energy usage seperately since it's properties, like Cost, CO2, and Effeciency vary far more than gassoline. Some people may even generate their own electricity, in which case their electric energy is essentially free once the initial investment in the collection technologies is paid off.

| |
| − | | |
| − | === My PHEV empg ( unofficial ) ===
| |
| − | [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gridable-hybrids/message/1821 This] Is a far better explanation.
| |
| − | I use $0.06/kWh. The Prius achieves 3 miles per kWh and 50 mpg.
| |
| − | I'm using 33.6kWh/gal to calculate kWh '''E'''quivilant mpg or '''empg'''.
| |
| − | Calculation formula is:<br>
| |
| − | Total Distance - PHEV-Range = Distance using Gassoline.<br>
| |
| − | Distance using Gassoline / gas mpg = Gassoline Consumption.<br>
| |
| − | Gassoline Consumption + kWh gas equivilant / Total Distance = empg.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *PHEV-20 (6.6 kWh, $0.40) = 0.2 gas gal equivilant
| |
| − | **Total Distance, Gassoline used = Empg / mpg (electricity considered seperately)
| |
| − | **20 miles uses 0.00 gas gal = 100 empg / Inf mpg
| |
| − | **40 miles uses 0.40 gas gal = 67 empg / 100 mpg
| |
| − | **60 miles uses 0.80 gas gal = 60 empg / 75 mpg
| |
| − | **80 miles uses 1.20 gas gal = 57 empg / 80 mpg
| |
| − | **100 miles uses 1.60 gas gal = 55 empg / 62 mpg
| |
| − | | |
| − | *PHEV-40 (13.3kWh, $0.80) = 0.4 gas gal equivilant
| |
| − | **20 miles uses 0.00 gas gal = 100 empg / Inf mpg
| |
| − | **40 miles uses 0.00 gas gal = 100 empg / Inf mpg
| |
| − | **60 miles uses 0.40 gas gal = 75 empg / 150 mpg
| |
| − | **80 miles uses 0.80 gas gal = 66 empg / 100 mpg
| |
| − | **100 miles uses 1.20 gas gal = 62 empg / 83 mpg
