@TechConnectify It's fun when I get to tell people my Accord hybrid has no transmission.

@TechConnectify 55 minutes of something i still don't understand (and definitely would never buy, unlike pure electric)? Must see!

@TechConnectify "I needed to floor it to get around that truck"Sounds to me like something that indicators could* have communicated to the driver in the other lane during the time the lights were red?!?* Not saying you didn't have the indicators on - you're not driving a BMW - but I find it so frustrating when people who find themselves in the wrong lane and don't indicate to the people behind them "hey, please let me pull over into your lane" during red and pull over just as you accelerate

@TechConnectify Toyota isn't perfect but I'm glad I picked a hybrid from them after my last vehicle died.

@TechConnectify pointless aside: on the way to the in-laws we cross a "pass" (700m above sea level going down to sea level), and braking on the way down generates more energy than fits in the hybrid's battery.So, – I am that kind of nerd – I plug the phones into the car at the top to charge them and not let the energy go to waste. We still arrive at the bottom with a full car battery and 10% more charge in the phones (I believe limited by the power output of the car's USB-C receptacle)

@TechConnectify i am glad you pointed out that getting the plug in option probably would cost me fuel economy. It’s really easy to kick myself for buying the base prius instead of the base plug in for another $5000 or so, but negotiating getting a plug at my apartment might have just not even been worth it for my regular habits.

@TechConnectify as a driver of a 2007 Prius…this clarified several things for me about how the vehicle makes the choices it makes, thank you!

@TechConnectify Location issues are weird, eh?"...a shockingly consistent 34 miles per gallon..." from a 2021 hybrid? And that's 50% more range than its predecessor...?But ... it's worse than most plain ICEs since about 1990, equal to my 1987 Citroen, long gone, worse than my current crappy old (2005) Renault (c.45mpg in Summer, maybe 42 in Winter, until you do long journeys when it can get up to 59 with a tailwind).

@TechConnectify I would love to know how you figure this stuff out. If I just type "what are the trade-offs of a hybrid engine?" into Google, I could never arrive at the picture you present.(I don't think I could have, even before the current infestation of AI slop results. I just don't know how to get started on answering a deep question in a domain I'm not familiar with).From your other videos I know you're good at reading patents to figure out how stuff works, but this goes beyond that.

@TechConnectify I thought the point of hybrid cars is to steal government subsidies which were meant for actual EVs by making a fossil fuel powered car cosplay as a EV.

@electropict Given the cars you've just mentioned, remember that the US gallon is smaller than an Imperial gallon by a pretty large margin.

@sbrudenell In this case, it's genuinely because I think about energy a lot and what consumes it in what processes.Understanding the inefficiencies of things helps identify opportunities. Then when you look at what engineers are doing to leverage those opportunities, you can piece together the details.

@TechConnectify I wasn't sure but have checked. Good point.So 34mpg(US) = 40.8mpg(IMP)?It beats the 1987 Citroen, certainly. I note later you mention that it's a 2.5L engine; presumably that's a part of why it's still behind the 16-year-older Renault ICE. (Which is also what you're calling a minivan, though that's not how I'm used to the word being applied.)Other than the slightly shocking realisation that hybrids may be heavier on the juice than I'd expect, nice video btw. 🙂

@TechConnectify Many thanks! I've really learned something, and I'm only half-way through. Glad to know that hybrid cars aren't as bad as I thought. (But I still don't like driving them.)

@TechConnectify as someone who just went full electric and and loves it but was harassed to go hybrid because range or something stupid... I think I'll find this very interesting. 😊

@TechConnectify I would indeed recommend PHEVs (plug-in hybrids) mostly to people having a charging opportunity at home or at work. Else you run on fuel anyway with the small batteries most PHEVs have.

@TechConnectify Great video. I have been trying to do some research on good cars to get while wanting to transition away from gas. I don't know if there are good cheap EVs, so it's good to know more on how Hybrid Cars work.I still don't know what company is best to buy from if I want to avoid companies adding subscriptions to things, but I do still appreciate the knowledge on hybrids and will consider getting one if I can't find a good EV especially since I can't currently set up home charging

@TechConnectify @sbrudenell 💛⚡️The conversion efficiency is also why coasting is better than regenerative braking. it’s wild that hypermiling in a BEV and in a classic ICE is still basically the same strategy (use least amount of torque, be it positive or negative)

@TechConnectify it was an interesting video, thanks. Taught me a few things about toyota hybrids and I wonder if all hybrid manufacturers use the same techniques.

@TechConnectify Hi Alec, I just saw your connextras video about Minivans where you tell you should buy in no time an electric one.So I reminded, just four days ago I was driving to the seaside with my 2013 Renault Zoe (I'm in Italy) and while I took a 10-minutes break for a quick charge, a KIA PV5 parked near me to charge too. It looks to me quite a good product: came out a family from Austria or probably Germany so range is not an issue.So take a look at the PV5 Passenger... let us know!

A strange observation for you, @TechConnectify Hi Alec — longtime fan. I have a completely irrational reaction to the background music bed you use. It reminds me of the intro/outro music from NPR's The People's Pharmacy, which I used to hear at the end of sleepless nights during a rough period of my life. Every time I hear it I get a brief flashback. Obviously that's my baggage, not a criticism of the channel. Just thought you'd appreciate how strangely specific human associations can be.
