Hi Patrick, (I'm writing in english to be fair with this group ...). Could you please take a look at the french prius group ? I have asked to you a few...
No problem with another group being created. It is quiet expected that this will happen since the number of Prius owners is presently going an exponential...
Thanks Linda, No need to say I have been passing my week-end testing the car and the EV mode in all kinds of situations. I just can't get enough of it. Only...
Hi Everyone: Just a reminder about the Madison Wisconsin Prius gathering tomorrow (Sunday 3/7/04) 2pm at Red Robin Restaurant, 6522 Monona Drive at the ...
Hi All, Nope, this isn't Spam. I'm just a guy selling my electric car on eBay and I thought the folks in this hybrid group would be interested... The time has...
Does anyone know a link to the article explaining how big oil and big auto got together to lobby and kill the California EV mandate? Sure would like to find...
Hello, There are now pictures available in the group photos link, under Black Prius, of the three different EV mode button of the European, American and...
Patrick To be absolutely precise, the European one should be titled "Continental Europe" or "EU except UK." The UK button is in the same place, but for some...
Hi Jerry, Would you mind to make a picture of it and send it to me. I would add it to have the complete set so that everybody knows where to find it precisely....
Will do. Let none say that Britain is backward in showing off its EV button. Be Weds. though, off to London tomorrow Jerry ... From: priusmaniac To:...
Saw the Honda Civic hybrid add on TV last night. They are using the same “never have to plug it in” line as Toyota. My guess is this is because so much...
... Actually, the TV ads for the Insight were the first to use that as a selling point -- before the Prius was introduced in the U.S. :) peace, Linda...
Thanks Linda, Didn’t know that. At least they are all speaking in unison. But I still don’t know the root of this slogan. And it unfortunately is one the...

An article where the topic is PHEV is always interesting even if rather negative like this one, because it makes people think about what those cars really are....
Hello, The picture collection of the different EV mode button positions has been completed with a picture from the UK Prius sended by Jerry. It is interesting...
Hello, Now that many of the US Prius drivers have been able to reactivate the EV mode button (some of them even place it on the cruise control switch), we can...
... What are the two methods? One I know of it to just grid charge your extra pack, and reset the errors that it spawns, I can live with that. But I guess we...
Hello Ryan, I refer to the solutions evoked in message 500. But indeed we are still looking for a solution that doesn't upset the various systems. Something...
Hmm. It's nice to know we are pawns whose interest was spawned by the electricity-industry conspiracy. And here I thought we were working this stuff up on our...

Hello, I've been reading along for awhile on the gridable issue. I like the idea since much of my driving is short distances. I didn't realized the external...
... My personal experience is that folks think that you will be *ABLE* to plug a hybrid in and most are shocked that you can't. Thus the advertising serves...
Its also reassuring to know that wile the electric companies were promoting the BEV in their own self interest, the oil companies were acting out of selfless...
No, not a conspiracy. But why do customers ask that? It doesn’t matter. People thought bringing electricity into their homes (when it was a new thing) would...
Hi Doug, Yes it may seem strange that an hybrid car has no plug-in possibility to recharge it's main battery, but the Prius is still one of the very first on...
Tallex Found the article to be of great interest. The question that comes to mind is, what would one of these motors do to the range of a BEV? Thanks for...
