Hybrid Vehicles

  • how much electricity can be regenerated during one braking ?

    Braking from 60 km/h (37.3 mph) until vehicle A stops increases the state of charge by around 1 % to 3 %. • Braking from 60 km/h (37.3 mph) until the vehicle stops increases the State of charge by around 1 to 3 %, depending on how the brake pedal is depressed. • Slow acceleration in the EV mode from 0 km/h (0 mph) to around 40 km/h (24.9 mph) will cause the State of charge to decrease by around 2 % to 3 %, therefore electricity that corresponds to this range of motion can be stored. • The most effective way of recharging energy is gently decelerating while depressing the brake pedal softly. On the other hand, sudden braking leads to less effective regeneration, because in In this case hydraulic braking does a greater portion of the deceleration."

  • can HVs run without gasolone ?How far can HVs runwith only the electricity stored in the HV battery

    No. HVs cannot run without gasoline. HVs can run only a ver A y limited distance with only the HV battery. There are two ways to charge the HV battery: (1) regenerative braking and (2) engine power. • The engine cannot operate if it runs out of gasoline, so the HV runs with the motor. In this case, the HV battery is charged with only regenerative braking, leading to a low (state of charge), which makes the HV unable to run. • Possible running distance is only a few kilometers. It depends on the state of charge and the driving conditions at the time

  • how much fuel does the HV Vehicle consume ?

  • can the HV run when the HV battery has become discharged ?

    No. The engine cannot start and the HV cannot run when the HV battery has become discharged. • The HV cannot run because the generator (MG1) cannot start engine when the HV battery has become discharged. (Also, electricity cannot be generated without starting the engine.) • If the HV battery has been discharged due to long term storage or leaving the shift lever in N range, charge it with the THS charger enough for the engine start. • If the HV battery cannot be charged using the THS charger, it is likely that the HV battery has been fully discharged. In this case, the HV battery must be replaced

  • How long is the expected HV battery life?Does it need to be replaced periodically?

    It is designed to last the life of the vehicle, however, It may vary depending on how the HV is used. • The HV battery deteriorates over time. It varies depending on how it is used and the driving conditions of the HV. • Mechanical parts for the hybrid system, including the HV battery, are covered by the same special warranty as conventional engines, which guarantees either a period of 5 years or 100,000 kilometers from the date that the HV was registered, whichever comes first (in Japan). • The HV battery life (expected lifespan) indicates that the battery power output will decrease with degradation over time of the materials that control the battery’s internal performance."

  • how does the state of charge effect power output?

    "The State of charge dropping limits the electricity from the HV A battery. •The State of charge dropping limits the electricity from the HV battery, lowering the power output. But, the system attempts to maintain a certain level of State Of Charge . If the State of charge drops the engine runs continuously to recharge the HV battery, so power output limitation rarely occurs. • On the other hand, when the State of charge rises due to regenerative braking by continual driving down a slope, motor driving becomes more frequent because the engine is not required for recharging. However, there is no change in power output. (Power output is controlled on demand by the driver’s accelerator operation

  • should HVs be warmed up ?

    No. Warming up is not necessary for Hybrid systems. If you would like to heat inside the cabin, proceed with warming up the HV. • Systematic warming up is not necessary for HVs. • The engine coolant is the heat source of the heater. Please note that when you try to warm up the HV to heat inside the cabin, the engine will not stop until its coolant temperature becomes a certain value due to heating demand from the A/C (Air Conditioner) to the HV computer. But, warming up the HV without driving has more adverse affect on fuel efficiency."

  • what is the auxiliary ?where is it installed?

    The auxiliary battery is a 12 V capacity battery. Usually, it is installed inside the vehicle such as in the trunk. • HVs have two batteries. One is the HV battery for the high voltage system, and the other is the auxiliary battery with a 12 V capacity. • Not all power supply systems have high voltage in HVs. Similar to conventional vehicles, controls and accessories (engine, brake, door locks, audio/navigation systems and so on) use the 12 V power supply. • The auxiliary battery supplies electricity for ECUs, which control the hybrid system. Therefore if the auxiliary battery voltage is insufficient, the system is not able to be “READY ON

  • Does engine braking work in HVs?

    No. The motor (MG2) essentially performs the engine braking during regenerative braking. (For engine braking) • Engine braking occurs when a conventional vehicle decelerates. In HVs, the motor (MG2) essentially performs engine braking during regenerative braking. • However, when the State of charge is completely full, regeneration cannot be performed and engine braking is used for deceleration.

  • Why should HVs not be stopped with the shift lever in N range?

    Because the engine power cannot be used for generating electricity while the shift lever is in N range. Shift the shift lever into P range when you park the HV. • Because the THS-II uses an E-CVT, the motor (MG2), generator (MG1), and the engine link to the wheels via the planetary gear unit. • N range in THS-II is not made mechanically by a clutch. It is made electrically by shutting down the motor (MG2) and generator(MG1). • Accordingly, although the engine is rotating, the generator (MG1)cannot generate electricity because the direct engine torque acts on the wheels. • If you continuously stop with the shift lever in N range and the State of charge decreases, a meter display or buzzer sound* will activate. If you continue to stop with the shift lever in N range and the State Of Charge decreases further, the HV turns the system “READY OFF” condition to protect the HV battery. • When you park the HV, shift the shift lever into P range.
