@@KarrasBastomi yes, and wouldn't you know it, having a hybrid car like Prius will be a much safer bet if you consider the rate of improvement of those cars. If you are the type of person who changes the cars every 2-3 years maybe you don't care about the current car specs getting obsolete, but for people who buy the car and use it for long time it's much less of a gamble and it will age better.

The Prius has long been my pick for one of the most important vehicles ever. Since they came out they've been reliable, efficient, practical, and (relatively) affordable. For 95% of motorists who are regular commuters who don't care about driving feel and don't need all the latest tech, a base model Prius has always been one of the best options out there. And then having rising trim levels and tons of options to appeal to more affluent buyers brings it far above what used to be just a boring economy blob

The Hybrid model (with solar panel included) really is the solution for MOST commuters. If the world leaders wanted to cut down on CO2 emissions, this would solve it for 90% of folk out there. Even just the regular Prius (drove a 2007) I was consistently getting around or more than 50mpg. With this, I can see most commuters getting well over 100 mpg and some never having to pay for any gas unless they went on vacation or long trips!

Even in those apartment who offers EV charging, there're two problems: 1) Usually you need to buy charge credit from leasing office, which mostly likely cost more than the electricity itself. So not as economical as having your own charging spot. 2) You either need to move your car after a few hours of charging, or choose to be a dick and block others from using that charging spot for the rest of the day.

@DefianceGJ Год назад
let’s do the math! if he was getting 4Wh of charge on a very sunny day and 2Wh of charge on a cloudy, rainy day, we can say on average, it gets 2.4-2.9Wh of charge per day, accounting for winter weather and change in solar luminosity and our distance from the sun. If that’s about a mile worth of charge per day, that’s 365 miles per year, which comes out to 7.019 gallons for the prius prime. the average price of a gallon of gas in the US right now is $3.68, which means it would save around $25.83 a year in gas. the price of the solar roof is around $610 so it would take around 23.6 years to pay itself off! considering that things only get more expensive and we know that prius’ can last that long, i would say it’s worth it!

A more useful purchase would be a battery bank with a solar panel which could be used to trickle charge the car a little every day using the standard 110V EVSE plugged into the battery bank. Granted, it isn't as cool as telling your friends you have a solar panel on your roof, but it would be more useful and probably cost less. An off grid home charging solution with 800W solar and 5-10kwh of battery could probably also be put together for less than the cost of the panel option on the car (unsure of the cost of that option though).

We test drove the Toyota Prius Prime 2024 here in Germany last month and it is a dream. We absolutely loved it during our 1 hour test drive. We have an old 2009 Prius that we bought in 2011 and put over 300,000 km on it. We were hoping to upgrade. But there are two problems with it: 1) They only offer the Prime version in Germany, no hybrid-only models 2) The base cost of the Prime is 45,990.00 Euro. That is ridiculous for a Plug in Hybrid when you can get a really good EV for the same or even less that price.

As an owner of RAV4 Prime, the EV only range is a conservative range. By default it was programmed so that if you live in an area with lots of hills or a fast-ish driver, that range will match where and how you drive. The car will learn where you live and how you drive and then the range will adjust. After 2 months during the warm season, the range of my RAV4 prime went from 42 miles when I picked it up from the dealership to 54 miles after learning about me.

No cars are a part of the solution. Electric cars just cause other kinds of pollution. Whether electrification is a net win for the environment will have to be seen in the coming decades. We didn't start seeing the poor effects of gas cars until like 100 years after they first became popular.
@Sam-mw5hx
@Sam-mw5hx Год назад
Electric cars are terrible for the environment. Here are some reasons why 1. Child labor and rare metal mining: The production of electric vehicle batteries relies on rare metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Unfortunately, the extraction of these minerals often occurs in countries where labor and environmental regulations are lax. This can lead to unethical mining practices, including the exploitation of child labor, hazardous working conditions, and ecosystem destruction. It is crucial to ensure responsible sourcing and promote transparency throughout the supply chain to address these concerns. 2. Carbon emissions from battery production: The manufacturing process for electric vehicle batteries, which involves mining, refining, and processing of raw materials, requires a substantial amount of energy. Depending on the energy sources used during battery production, significant carbon emissions may be generated. These emissions need to be considered when evaluating the overall environmental impact of electric vehicles. 3. Battery disposal and recycling: Electric car batteries have a limited lifespan and eventually need to be replaced. The disposal of used batteries can pose environmental challenges, as they contain hazardous materials that need proper handling and recycling. Without appropriate recycling infrastructure in place, there is a risk of improper disposal, leading to pollution and potential harm to ecosystems. 4. Charging infrastructure limitations: While expanding charging infrastructure is necessary for widespread electric vehicle adoption, it can also have environmental implications. Constructing charging stations requires land development, electricity infrastructure upgrades, and resource consumption, which can impact natural habitats and ecosystems if not adequately managed.

You don't even need that much range The smallest hybrid Toyota have is the hybrid Yaris it's only 1.15 tons so should get ~7 miles per KWh If that hybrid had just a 3KWh battery it could get 20 miles a day electric x 365 days potentially over 7,000 miles electric per year and if you can charge at work or other locations potentially as much as 14,000 miles per year electric 3KWh pack would only add 20kg mass to the car and maybe $750 cost but you'd save on maintenance as the gasoline engine would be on less of the time Also in theory 1 sqm of solar on its roof would add potentially 1,500 miles of range per year from the solar roof that would be amazing. If you could fit 2 sqm of solar that would be 3,000 miles oer year solar!!

The solar roof on my XSE Premium Press Car enjoyed sun every day I had it last month and I got an extra .8- 1.1kW of power generated daily before plugging it in at night. That was enough for 3-4 miles of range added each day. Really impressive, along with everything else I loved about driving it. Wish it had faster 6kW AC charging but man, I never thought I’d have fallen in love with the Prius. 40+ miles of EV range for commuting but no worries about charging infrastructure for the occasional road trip seems like a win win.

I was a big evangelist for the Prius Prime when I was driving the 2019 model. Nobody expects you to go flying from a dead stop like a muscle car, but that's what instant torque gets you. This thing's going to throw you back in the seat if the figures are anything to go by. 40-60 is where the bulk of the 'slow' 0-60 figure comes in as you lose steam, but you can hardly ask for a quicker 0-35. Even with roughly half of the new version's electric range, I was comfortably staying off the gas long enough that I was getting concerned about it going stale whenever I wasn't going on road trips, because I never had to let the engine turn on at all. Part of the reason I want to go full EV and got rid of the Prime - you do have to make an active effort to use that gas engine every once in a while, and do your regular maintenance.

It's still rare to see someone give Lotus some appreciation, nice to see.

Why is it though to get it for MSRP? In Canada you get it for what Toyota asks for it.

@@MisterOwling I'm not familiar with Canadian laws, but in the US some dealers will mark up desirable new vehicles based on demand. Not every dealer does it, but it's currently rampant with many vehicles that have more interested buyers than inventory. Some examples include the Civic Type R, GR Yaris, Hyundai IONIQ products, etc. - and some of the "market adjustment" markups are significant ($10-20k+ depending).

“Assuming you got one for around MSRP” - definitely no on that, at least right now. Anything hybrid-related, especially from Toyota, is going to be marked up. The Corolla Hybrid, for example, is 5-7k higher in my area due to dealer mark ups.

Yeah, I think it's a great looking car! And a plug-in hybrid seems like the ideal car for the current state of electrication.

Literally from the moment I saw the new Prius I was blown away. *This* is a "futuristic" looking car. I hope they bring this same design language into more of their models

I had an 04 briefly. Highly advanced for it's time. Very luxurious and comfortable. Quick off the stop, incredibly efficient. Quiet and smooth ride. Yeah, i loved that car. Changed my perspective completely

This is pretty cool. I know it's more things that can break and/or need repairs, but seeing tech like this is definitely going to be parts of the present and future. Solar panels in cars just makes sense. Love it!

Never really followed car vids because they are usually out of my affordability and just thought I might as well spend time on getting stuff done, but this Prius really has me hooked because it's much more accessible compared to other cars that are usually reviewed. The tax here for cars where I'm from is crazy, so seeing an accessible car that has all of the features you mentioned is truly impressive. I appreciate how you showcased the Prius as a practical and efficient option, especially for those of us who are budget-conscious. It's refreshing to see a car that doesn't break the bank but still offers great value and innovative technology.

I’ve owned a generation three Prius hybrid, and then I traded it in for the third generation Prius plug-in. I’ve now had that car for 12 years and I’ve only got 80,000 miles on it. It’s still working perfectly fine. Everything works. It’s clean and there’s really no reason for me to get a new car, but I only get 9 1/2 miles of range on the battery. I went 800 miles before I had to go to the gas station because I don’t drive a lot these days. But if I got the 44 miles of range new Prius, I probably would only keep 2 gallons of gas in the car until I plan on making a long trip because all that extra fuel adds up to more weight so I could probably stretch it to over 1000 miles of not having to go to the gas station. Plus I charge my car at home and I have solar panels so the cost of electricity is extremely minimal sometimes zero. Now that I’m retired I definitely can’t afford a Tesla.
