ENGINE SPECS:
“A couple of the really good things about the prius is”...
- That it’s a HYBRID CAR. (shot of hybrid symbol on side of car, dashboard) it switches between use of the gas engine power & electric battery power to make running it more efficient and environmentally conscious at about half the amount of gas emissions than that of a standard or conventional car. (https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/greenhouse-gas-emissions-typical-passenger-vehicle)
- This also means that we don’t need a huge tank to get us long distances. Our tank carries around 12 gal, and averages about 44 city miles, and 40 hwy miles.
- This ALSO means that this car has the capability to run overnight without causing any damage to the engine and transmission, giving us opportunity for air conditioning and heat when needed for car camping.
- Being a hybrid, the prius v doesn’t require a plug-in power source to charge the battery.You simply just drive your car around and every time you step on the brakes, the break controller directs electricity from the motor towards the batteries to charge them. And it will continue this kind of cycle of charging the motor while using engine power, then switching back to battery power over and over again.
