1997 - 2006 Prius
I was noticing more and more of the pre-03 prius's popping up, I call them "pope noses" (old VW phrase) as they have the bump between the grills that looks like a nose.
Is that where they got the body style for the echo?? My question is did they change the 1997 prius body style in 00'? I have yet to find a picture on the 97' model and/or the specs on the vehicle.. I had a chance to talk to a 02 prius owner while getting our oil changes at the dealer.. He was telling me he has over 150,000 miles on his and has had no serious repairs done except for routine maint. I told him that was very impressive ( his too looked like it had just pulled off the show room floor).. And this is the toyota battery https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...teryModule.jpg |

It's cool that they were experimenting with using capacitors in the '95 prototype, I wonder if they might eventually go back to using them if they improve?

i=C (dv/dt) one amp out of one Farad drops the voltage one volt per second. pull one amp out of a hybrid battery and how long does it take to drop one volt? |
